Description

Blue Pots is just slightly more technical than the Guardrail (outer) Loop. It's narrow and twisty, requiring some control at low-speeds. This trail is rooty, rocky, tight, and generally 'raw'. It's a great trail to ride to keep your real bike handling skills up-to-snuff, and it serves as a nice contrast to the newer-school machine-built flow trails.

The trail is apparently named for the rusty old blue enamel cooking pots found during trail work.

Staying right takes you on the Outer Loop. Left puts you on the Inner Loop.
