Biking Trails
Trail descriptions
Trail 1
This is an easy trail that connects the main park grounds to the mountain bike trail system and Haul Road. It’s a great trail for families and casual riders.
Trail 2
This trail begins just after the Haul Road gate at the trailhead. This trail is easy singletrack around a meadow and is a good trail to warm up, or for the beginner a great place to start developing the skills critical to trail riding.
Trail 2B
This trail begins at the end of Trail 2 with a short, steep climb called ‘surprise hill’. It is wooded singletrack with a large ravine crossing near the middle. The ravine decent and climb are moderately steep.
Trail 3
This is a short, easy section which begins at the bailout at the end of Trail 2B. It is a wide singletrack through a meadow area. The front half is a steady, slight incline, while the second half is a fast, moderately straight decline.
Trail 4A
This trail has wall ride turns, a drop section, water crossing, and a long climb called ‘heartbreak hill’. It follows a twisting and slightly uphill path along ravine tops. There is an optional dip into the steep ravine called ‘I-74’. Occasional log piles and skinnies are scattered throughout. At the end the rider can choose to continue straight to Trail 5 or switch to Trail 4B.
Trail 4B
Trail 4B begins at the end of Trail 5 and the connector from Trail 4B. It is long, fast, and downhill with a drop midway and a table top at the end. The trail is relatively straight with good sightlines.
Trail 5
This trail is a loop beginning and ending at the end of Trail 4A and the start of Trail 4B. It has a number of steep dips, log jumps, and a few narrow spots. There is a fast, flowing section before coming to the ‘playground’.
Trail 6
This trail starts out with moderate descents and climbs that soon lead to the ‘three kings’. The ‘three kings’ are a series of steep climbs and descents with a couple dangerous switchbacks near the end. This section will certainly test any rider’s skills.
Trail 7
This begins on Haul Road just a short ride from Trail 6 and provides a return route to the trailhead. The trail contains a few ravine dips prior to the major ravine crossing near the middle. The ravine includes a water crossing and a steep climb and switchback. The remainder of the trail is moderately level and exits onto Haul Road.
Devil's Gulch
This trail has a fast off camber downhill turn followed by a tight windy climb. At the top of the climb is a sharp right to a log drop and a short steep table top. It continues through bench cut ravines, jumps, and log piles. It is touted as one of the most exhilarating portions of the system. A bailout connects the end of the trail to Haul Road.
Haul Road
This trail a dirt/gravel road running alongside the west side of the trail system. It is generally an easy ride that has several modest up and down hill portions. There are bailouts allowing riders to exit, or enter, the system. Bailouts are located at the end of trails 2B, 3, and Devil’s Gulch.
Heaven and Hell
This is a complex section of the system beginning with narrow, bench cut downhills and tight switchbacks. This leads to a quick rise and drop in the middle before the trail begins an arduous climb back to the top of the ridge.
Nirvana
This trail begins roughly in the middle of Trail 4B and consists of a fast, steep downhill that transitions into flowing singletrack which gradually climbs up to meet the beginning of Trail 6. Alternatively, there is a connector prior to the end that joins near the beginning of Devil’s Gulch.
Session
This trail traverses the area between the beginning of Trail 4B and the middle of Trail 6. It slopes gradually downhill away from Trail 4B and is nearly straight. This is a great trail to use to reset your ride to the beginning of Trail 4B, Heaven and Hell, Nirvana, and Devil’s Gulch.
Playground Loop
This trail is on the interior of Trail 5. A climb sets the rider up for a fast downhill with a number of jumps in succession. This is followed by another climb leading to a second faster, longer downhill with more jumps.
