Not a whole lot to say about this trail other than it's incredibly smooth which made for a relaxing (and somewhat scenic) drive on my way out from Hidden Splendor. I did see about four wild horses (at least I think they were wild) which was awesome as I'm not sure I'd ever seen any before.

Not much of a trail, just a connector to reds canyon and hidden splendor. Super dry and dusty with not much to see. There are a couple camping spots along the trail but nothing worth staying at in my opinion.

Easy connector trail with wide-open views. It was cool to watch the storms build off in the distance. We ran this trail to check out Hidden Splendor; it was a dusty and windy day.
