“A fun all-around ride and a good stepping stone for beginners. Little climb, little technical, little downhill.”

— Matt Henderson

Features -none-

No motorized vehicles. Watch out for horses sometimes.

Description

This is a fun track if you live in the area for a quick, good all-around ride.There are some easier routes and harder routes all around for beginners or for more experienced riders who want to stay on a technical track. Once you get around the mountain, you can keep going up further for a little longer ride (few miles) and lead back to the trail. Careful on the back end as there can be some steep parts. Once the descent is done on the back end, the singletrack along the ridge is very fun!

It’s either tight and really rocky, or wide open through deep, loose sand and gravel. I walked most of it.

Hard pack and some river pebbles to ride through. Makes it tough to get around going CCW.
