This is a very technical trail, tons on rocks with sections of dirt single track. I'd say it's 98% single track. I'd say it's best to go counter clock wise starting with taking the recharge trail to far reaches, then los banderos (sp?) around, to carolines overlook or something like that, then to the main trail which takes you to the entry point by the bridge. This is one challenging trail system....tough climbs, awesome downhill sections. I've got an 2008 SX Trail II....would highly recommend a dual suspension bike. Enjoy!
