Exceptionally well marked. You won't get lost here. Trail markers also indicate how to get back to the parking lot. I started from Bennett. There are vault toilets in the parking lot. Pay $7 parking fee with a cash envelope. No cell service. Fun mountain bike trails.

Super good trails for mountain biking. Fast rolling and nice natural berms. It also has less climbing than the surrounding areas which I really appreciated!
