Description

Climb to the top of this trail from Veterans Drive parking or Take Par None up then IMBA for a fantastic loop.

The climb up POW is all rideable but steeper than the Par None climb. IMBA climbs slightly if riding west from Par None but nothing difficult.

POW's descent is a lot of fun with mostly smooth sweeping turns and several opportunities for a little air - but be careful with your speed as you pass a short rocky section along a hillside as the fairly steep drop coming can take you by surprise and catch you attention.
Since the ride takes only 30 minutes. A nice ride is Par None/IMBA/POW loop a few times before returning to my truck.

IMBA trail meets POW ride right to Mother, Left to Par None

POW Parking Area and trailhead with information kiosk.

POW to the left or Par None to the right. Hmmm...I go right.

POW Trail

POW Plan B - go left to avoid the kinda steep direct descent. Personally I prefer the direct route. Plan B has a couple switchbacks with some rutty washed out areas and is uncharacteristic of the rest of the trail.
