Dry - Good condition for the most part. End of summer expectations: dry, dusty, slippery. Probably best ridden in fall or spring History

“Fast and flowy singletrack with great berms and smaller jumps.”

This is a multi-use trail. Be alert and expect traffic in both directions.

Description

A quick and tame climb up a mix of single and doubletrack brings you to the top of the newer and increasingly popular Hoot Trail.

From the top, it's 100% singletrack down to Rock Creek Road. Right off the bat, the trail gets going through flowy forest rhythm sections that switchbacks down the north side of the ridge. Jumps and berms abound the entire length of the descent with a variety of features for everyone.

Park at the Harmony Market and enjoy the Hoot Trail, Scott's Flat Lake Trail, Pioneer Trail and many more without having to shuttle! Then stop by the 5 Mile House or Harmony Market to refuel your stoke!
