Trails:

Mixed high desert trails, lots of two track road and cow trails, and some gravel road. Some sections of rock. Very doable “spring ride” trails! Plentiful water. Please seriously consider hoof protection. Gentle rolling elevation changes. Gates! This area is grazed by range cattle, so gates are a fact of life out here. Hopefully, as has been the case in past years, we’ll be having the ride ahead of the cattle being released into most of the area and the gates won’t be much of an issue, but we’re planning to have gate keepers out there for you.

Amenities:

Horse water, porta-potties, and a central campfire! We are on private property so weed free hay is not necessary.
