Description

South Porcupine is a relatively flat singletrack that is mainly used as an access route to the more technical trails of Prince Creek. It is a multi-directional trail. You can access Ginormous and English Trim, while Father of Ginormous, Plunge and Trough end at South Porcupine (all three are downhill only).

South Porcupine itself offers great views of Mt. Sopris and the Crown.
