Dogs Unknown
Overview
This is great for exercise. The views are vast—especially on the
Stucki Springs Trail. The singletrack down the
Stucki Connector and the
Bearclaw Poppy Trail is fast and furious. The
Bearclaw Poppy Trail portion (both up and down) can be very busy on weekends during the spring and fall. Midweek is better.
These trails are unrideable after rain so please don't ruin the trails by riding when it's wet—you might end up having to walk miles through very sticky mud if you get stuck. Please don't ruin the trails by riding wet (did I make my point?)!
Description
The ride starts at the end of Navajo Drive and is well marked.
Bearclaw Poppy Trail is one-way up and one-way down. If you follow the loop as shown you'll be riding the trails in the correct direction.
The up trail is well marked.
Bearclaw Poppy Trail turns into the
Stucki Springs Trail at about 2.2 miles. At about 6.0 miles (near the high point of the loop) the
Stucki Springs Trail trail takes a sharp turn to the right (NE) and continues partially on a two-track for about 2.0 miles, (look for signage for a turn to the right marked more difficult) then heads southeast on the
Stucki Connector and back to
Bearclaw Poppy Trail and the parking lot.
Have blast!
History & Background
Bearclaw Poppies are an endangered species so take care to stay on the trail or go to jail.
