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.
