“A fun, part rocky and part flowy trail connecting 2000 Hours to Upper Homestead.”

— Mike Miriello

Electric Mountain Bikes Allowed

Features -none-

The Massanutten Western Slope is private owned and riders must carry a valid annual pass or purchase a day pass ($10) or week pass ($25) from the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition. Find out more, here.

Description

4,000 Hours is an enjoyable climb or descent. If climbing, you'll find the first few berms to be the 'hard part', then it flows the rest of the way. The last bit is full of rock gardens, so be prepared to ride over some technical terrain.
