Description: Starting at the new Grapevine Trailhead this group trail run will have a 5 mile short Out n Back and a 7.5 mile Out n Back. The beginning of this run is non technical dirt road with a semi technical single track trail. Most of the climbing is gradual with a short punchy section(feel free to hike it). This is a great trail for those looking to get in to trails as the out n back means it’s not as committing as a big loop. All paces welcome! The trail is mainly dirt with some small patches of sand and a short section of sandstone. The new Grapevine Trailhead offers bathrooms and has water.
Location: Grapevine / Prospector

Recommended Gear: While not overly technical a trail shoe with moderate traction and cushion will provide good grip on the dirt and the sandstone. A handheld water bottle with electrolytes will be helpful depending on morning temps.
