“One of the more fun trails in West Mag with several optional big technical moves.”

Description

This trail was created with Forest Service permission to "re-route" the original Root Canal trail. The result is a great trail with a combination of naturally challenging trail features and some man-made obstacles for advanced riders.

To access Re-Root from the trailhead at the Peak to Peak Highway and Magnolia Rd, start climbing Aspen Alley Trail #342A and take the left at the fork 0.1 miles in. After a quarter of a mile, the trail crosses Haul Rd and continues for nearly two miles of winding singletrack interspersed with 5-6 technical alternative lines.

Most of the big technical moves are pretty obvious when you come to them, and they all have ride-arounds so you aren't forced into anything you don't want to ride.

This section of trail can be ridden by intermediates, but will get advanced riders grinning ear to ear.

This trail is no more... It was decimated by heavy equipment during tree removal needed to mitigate forest fires. Circa May 2013. Jun 24, 2013
