Know before you go
- Easiest way to get dirt from the village: about half a mile of quiet streets to the Cerrito trail start, then singletrack.
- Molly's is rolling and pumpy rather than technical. It skips The Hurl and Landmine, which are the rocky trails here.
- Ride it counterclockwise as mapped so Molly's finishes back toward town.
- Legal basis: these trails are part of the BLM-managed Blue Diamond / Cottonwood Valley network; the checker shows no wilderness.
Ride smart
- Water: plan on about 0.5 L for this ride. There's none on the trail.
- Signal is spotty. Tell someone your route and your time back.
- Emergency: call 911 and say "Molly Pump ride, parked at Cottonwood Station, Blue Diamond / Cottonwood Valley", plus the coordinates from Locate me.
- Wildlife: give horses, burros and anything with horns room, and never feed them.
- Stay on trail. Desert crust and mountain soil take decades to heal.
