Description

Rocky Ridge trail is almost two miles of sweeping singletrack mixed together with some quite challenging rock garden sections. Enjoy the views as you speed your way back down to the valley below. When you get in sight of the bridge at the bottom be prepared to shift to an easy gear to get up the other side. Follow the trail until it turns into a fire road and meets up with Mine Trail to climb back to the day use area again.

Some cows on the trail, but other than that it seems to be the best section in the park
