“Loose and Organic Singletrack through the Trees”

Driving Directions GPX File

Features -none-

Description

Oriental Express may seem like an ugly duckling when compared to nearby trails like SST and Golden Spike, but if you're looking for a wild ride on untamed singletrack, you'll find that this loose and raw duckling morphs into a beautiful swan. Admittedly a swan that doesn't care if you slip or slide about as it darts through the trees. Most often the trail is started by crossing over an unmarked berm off of Golden Spike, but it can also be accessed lower down off of Road 1200.

Similar to Air Chair in that this trail is more natural terrain DH compared to the groomed machine built trails in Galbraith. I would say this trail is even more rustic and rooty than Air Chair. I had a blast going down this which kept me focused and off my seat the whole time. Aug 6, 2018
