Very easy trail going from Skyline to Lower Tafoni, Fir and other trails. It's smooth and wide, almost a fire road. Very beginner friendly.

       If you're coming from the Skeggs parking lot, I prefer this trail over the Fir Trail if you are planning on riding down Resolution or down lower Tafoni, which seems to be missing from Trail Forks. It's a little more fun and interesting, but still the width of a fire road.
