Trail 15

Sand road rising from Barloy Canyon Road at an altitude of 200 feet to the hill overlooking Machine Gun Flats at an altitude of 400.  Best used downhill by cyclists because of the slope and soft sand.  A number of "unofficial" trails branch out to the west.  Used primarily as an egress trail by bicycles using the Hennekin's Ranch Rd Area.  Descending bicycles approach 20 mph.  Ascending bicycles will average 6 to 10 mph.
