Steep climbing and steep downhill. From the Section 16 parking area
ride up High Drive past the caretakers cabin, through the gate and
up a very steep section of road. After climbing a short while the

Palmer Trail through some fun sections and over to the top of the
Section 16 trail. Descend the steep section of the Section 16 trail
through some very technical rocky sections and back to your car.
You can also link this ride into Red Rock Canyon Open Space via the
Paul Inteman Trail.
