Itinerary description

The first 3km are a nice single track rail in the forest. This is followed by 25kms of a unpleasant gravel road with a thick cloud of dust being raised after each car. Playas are amazing. The best part is that loop on the south side with smaller dirt trails, more shade and no cars. Very steep though in some parts, I had to push my bike on many occasions. But the scenery is great, green fields, nice forests and colorful cabins. The downhill part is really enjoyable.

    You think one can do this trail in a 4x4 or too narrow?

    The loop in the south is single track and definitely too narrow.
