This trail was a blast! Best rollercoaster ride I've ever had on a mountain bike. The trail is mostly smooth compact sand with lots of rolling hills. Beginners or experts ride it religiously. You will too. I usually just bomb the downhill and then have someone pick me up in Bloomington but you can loop back around.
Finding the trail:
Trail Highlights:
- This trail is named after a very rare flower that occurs in this area. The Bearclaw Poppy blooms briefly in the spring. This preserve, and mountain bike trail, is a direct result of efforts to protect this plant. Please tread lightly and stay on the trail.

Finding the trail:
Take Dixie Drive to Canyon View Drive. When Canyon View Drive dead ends into the desert just keep following the trail up the bluff until you see a clearly marked trail head with maps.
