Description

Either way you approach this trail, there's a fun descent followed by a (too) steep climb. This trail seems to be often used by dirt bikes.

It's impressive how much this area feels far from civilization, even if it's right next to the city.

The Hays Woods area is a nesting site for bald eagles, be respectful.

This is a very scenic trail, but has seen no maintenance for sometime. Hard to enjoy the trail because of that. Uphill section is not rideable current 13mi — 2h 00m
