Recommended Users: Mountain Bikers, Hikers. Singletrack trail. .72 miles in length. Difficulty: Moderate/More Difficult (IMBA Trail Difficulty Rating System). This trail is a small loop off the Rim Rock Trail. It runs along the rim of a separate little mesa, offering great views of the surrounding desert. Just like the Rim Rock Trail it has not experienced recent cattle or OHV use, making the mesa a good place to see interesting desert plants, unusual reptiles, and cryptobiotic soils. Please keep it that way by staying on the trail.
