This is a fun trail with some technical and some minor skill level needs. It's pretty smooth riding until you hit Cholla. I recommend taking a break before hitting this rough climb, Rock-It is a rough, rocky, and technical downhill ride that if you don't have a downhill bike, are in for a serious ride. Oh and park on the street so you don't have to pay money.

Air Mail... You do relaize that they are in the process of evaluating trail usage in the Park. "Closed" trails are closed mostly for conservation and repair. Tools who ride the closed trails will get MTBs banned in general. Just be cause your too stupid to understand the word "Closed" doesn't give you the right to ruin it for everyone.

ALiso Canyon trails are not advance in terms of downhill, but it is a very steep climb. The best loop is up cholla, down rock-it, up cholla again, then go down lynx, and then finish by riding down coyote trail.
