| Other Names | Coconino National Forest, The Airport, Schoolhouse Draw |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This trail system offers around 50 miles of single track trails that form nice long loops that wind through a mixed pine tree forest. The trails are mostly smooth with a few rugged sections but are regularly maintained.
The area is still a work in progress and there are plans to expand and add more loops, so be sure to say thanks to the Coconino Trail Riders for these new trails.
