Description

The North Tower Loop is a good trail for strong beginners. While there are some decent climbs, the grades aren't too steep. Moderately technical with some rooty and rocky sections, North Tower also features some fast, flowy descents. There are some logs to hop, but each one has a ride-around, so riders aren't forced to cross them.

This loop is fun in both directions, but many riders choose to ride it clockwise. North Tower Loop starts and ends off of the North Gate Trail. There also is a connector to the North Tower Parking Lot

Some of the navigation at intersections was tricky not all the trail markers are named - MTB Project on my phone was the best. 26.4mi — 2h 55m

Dried fast after rain this week. North leg remained closed - prepare for out and back.
