Fat Tire splits off from Old Tine Mine Road a short distance after it begins. Look for a sign marking The Maze, which marks the start of the trail. The path is an easy, winding singletrack along the side of a short hill, heading west. Rocks along the trail are mostly small, and there are fewer plants namely, cacti along the side, making for an easier hike.

The western half of the trail is less rocky, continuing an easy climb ending shortly after the second turnoff to Sitting Bull. The trail then descends and ends at South Ridge. A small rock cairn marks the intersection, which is somewhat easier to see if eastbound on South Ridge.

Sotols, creosote bushes, agaves and ocotillos. ack rabbits and several species of birds.
