Description

From the parking lot just past the Giant gas station on Hwy 160 take the trail that ascends to the north. There are some unmarked roads/trails most of which are blocked off or have trail signs.

The trail mostly climbs, but there are some fun downhill sections. You'll end at a trail intersection with options for the Upper Twin Buttes Loop or the Cliffrock Loop.

Rode this trail system for the first time today and absolutely loved it. It has all the features I hope for in a trail: long meandering and traversing climb, reasonable gradient w enough small steep and rocky sections to keep you on your toes, lots of flowing and meandering sections. Good mix of tree cover and exposed. Just awesome! I don’t understand the low overall ratings. Then again I ride a 29’er hard tail and hate Super technical stuff If you prefer long gentle climbs and flowing single track you’ll love this trail system. Jul 6, 2018
