It sits at about 3,410 feet, and its high point reaches about 3,577 feet with a total climb of roughly 147 feet. The trail is rated hard, and its front-loaded profile means the steepest stretch comes early, around 0.34 miles from the start, where the grade hits about 9%. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 70°F in April and 75°F in October, while July highs average about 95°F. The connector links easily to other riding in the area. The Hurl is about 0.3 miles away, Landmine Loop about half a mile, and Molly's about 0.8 miles.
