Desert Classic Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Desert Classic Trail is one of the smoother, flatter trails in the preserve. There are still some rolling hills along the path, but it's really more of an access trail that follows along the contours at the base of the foothills. The trail is considered a blue mountain biking trail, so there are some rocks and gullies, but it's all really runnable terrain.
