Detailed Trail Description

When you experience this trail, you'll experience single-track and double-track. This is a great opportunity for people looking to get a multifaceted biking experience out of their visit. However, you can stick with a single track if that's what you're comfortable with.

This trail features a network of travel options instead of a loop, so navigation can get tricky. You'll need to keep track of the distance you've traveled so you can safely make your way back to your parking spot. If you're new to network-based trails, you should pay extra attention to your location.

If you want to travel the entire trail, it'll take some time. This trail is 32.2 kilometers when you complete it. However, many people will travel a distance into the trail before turning around so they don't lose track of their location.

Additional Trail Features

We do not recommend this trail for beginners because there are plenty of things bikers need to watch out for.

• Difficult to navigate
• Requires plenty of endurance
• Hills
• Sharp turns
• Loose rocks in some spots

You will spend most of this trip climbing, so make sure you bring your hiking boots. Many people feel exhausted after their trek through this trailhead. Fortunately, finding a parking spot is easy, and there are plenty of signs to indicate where to go.

Sights of Interest

This is a popular trail because there are endless views you can enjoy. When you reach the top of a hill, you can see all of the other hills in the area, which makes for quite the spectacle. When you ride on this trail, you'll feel like you're off the grid because there aren't many modern buildings or facilities in the area.

Conclusion

Knock out a few beginner-friendly trails before attempting this one. It's very long, and there are plenty of ways new explorers can get lost. If you're new to mountain biking, we recommend bringing a few experienced people along so you feel comfortable and safe.

Also, don't forget to bring water on this trip because it can get long. Bike riding is already a strenuous activity, but this ride features plenty of climbing as well. You should bring more water on this trip than you would on an average hiking or biking adventure.
