“A wide, dirt road with partial tree coverage. Flatter in south, steeper in north. Nothing technical. ”

— David Gregg
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: -none- [Add/Remove]
Dogs: No Dogs

Description [Suggest Changes]

The dirt road climbs only slightly for most of its length. Near the top there are a few climbs that will challenge beginners, but a piece of cake for experienced riders. Enjoy the partial shade and the canyon scenery. Keep eyes out for deer and snakes.

There are a number of trails that split to and from Wood Canyon, but a few of them are hiking only.

No-biking trails: Cave Rock, Wood Creek Trail.
Biking-ok trails: Dripping Cave, Mathis, Coyote Run, Lynx, Cholla.
