Mostly wide, gravelly and steep but non-technical singletrack. The trail veers away from the incline and more closely parallels US 24. At the far end, it is close to US 24 and a right turn will deliver you to a pavement return to Manitou Springs. A left turn will put you on Long's Ranch Road, which will take you back over to the top of the incline where you can descend the last 4 miles of the Barr Trail.

Not gonna lie, this trail is steep and loose. Ascending is hard and some spots have 20% grade, most riders will walk these areas. But when you arrive at the top the trail evens out for over a mile then has you ride on gravel road but there are singletrack offshoots to the left, but you have to pay attention.

Lots of loose gravel on a steep grade without much of a payoff. There are far better trails in the area. This one is good if you're wanting to make for a long day of character building riding the network of trails on the lower flanks of Pikes Peak.
