I've been in that area and can 2nd the lack of skeeters. That is the desert of the mesa....especially as you get to the end, out over-looking Delta and Indian Point (facing west). You might see mountain bikers...tis an easy single-track trail.
You can also drop off the south end. I don't remember the name of the trail, but there are lakes/ponds in there. Access is getting bad in that area. Also, when you drop off, the # of bugs will increase. Tis a steep trail going off the edge.
Not to far from there is Carson Lake (upper Kannah Creek drainage).
Also, there is a trail that drops off at Indian Point The Lands-End Hillclimb is this week-end.
