Arroyo Seco Out-and-Back Trail
Description
Starts by heading north-west from the NW corner of the East Loop Trail. Heads down a steep short single track into a narrow arroyo. Follows a single track that crisscrosses this arroyo many times. Eventually, the single track morphs into old two-tracks as it approaches private land to the west, separating the trail from the US 84/285 highway, and public, State Land, to the north. One can reach the village of El Valle de Arroyo Seco via arroyos heading north-west. Mostly ridden as an out-and-back ride.
