1) From Cathedral City Cove the route starts with a grind up Dunn Road. Break off the road to the right to the Hahn Buena Vista Trail and follow to the highpoint, around 2600ft, and ride down into a valley. Some of the best single track you'll experience in the area, fast and fun. After a few miles of fun rolling cross country terrain you end in a wash. This is the bottom of Hahn's. Connect with Vandervertner Trail and back up to Dunn.
2) After the 2 miles of Dunn you can break off to the right on a clearly visible single track and ride down into a valley (Vandervetner trail). You then break left at the Hans Buenna Vista/Vandervetner sign and climb a couple miles to the Hans Peak. Then drop down east half a mile onto Dunn Road picnic bench area.
