Summary:
Beginner? Only if you want to scare off potential riding buddies. Only beginner in terms of technicality...but even so there are some spots to keep an intermediate rider happy. But this trail is NOT a beginner trail in terms of distance and endurance, especially in hot weather. It is long and has a few grueling climbs. Definitely a trail worth getting to know. :D

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Fantasy Island, 50 Year, Sweetwater Preserve.

Summary:
A nice fellow I met at Starr Gap on last spring's Tucson trip was kind enough to turn me on to this new piece of trail. I did enjoy it although generally not too crazy about out and backs. Just good solid xc riding, well built. But silly me, I still go to Tucson for Fantasy Island and The Chutes and this bit did not make my cut for four days of riding last fall.

Summary:
Access the trail head by taking Old spanish trail to pistol hill rd, about 15 miles from town Hen head left on pistol hill rd (dirt) for 1.5 miles. Cross the cattleguard and park. the trailhead is 20 yards south of the cattleguard on the left. It is marked about ten yards in with a brown az trail post. The trail is well marked with these posts and you cant get lost.
