It sits about 0.1 mile from the Bell Rock Pathway and 0.2 mile from the Bell Rock / Courthouse Butte climbing area, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the Bell Rock area. The trail is a compact, moderate ride with a total climb of 187 feet over its round trip. The steepest section comes at about 0.39 miles, with a 6% grade. Its short length and technical flow suit intermediate riders looking to build skills on varied desert terrain without committing to a longer ride.
