        The descent is an amazing wide ridge descent. The fire road up to the top is about 5 miles of grassy rollers, nothing crazy hard but a little punchy. Once you get to the top and start descending the grade will gradually get steeper and...
        65 0.0 6 miles 1,768 ft 76
        Moderately popular black diamond difficulty singletrack. This mountain bike primary trail can be used both directions. On average it takes 57 minutes to complete this trail.
        100 1.0 2 miles 15 ft 68
        Popular blue difficulty singletrack. This multi-use trail can be used both directions and has a moderate overall physical rating with a 15 ft blue climb. On average it takes 7 minutes to complete this trail.

        25 4.5 2 miles 172 ft 20
        Across the street from Sunset Fields Overlook there is a small doubletrack that will take you to a fork. If you go left you're in for a huge ride (Terrapin MT) but if you go right you'll do the DH which is fun and rocky. Once you get to...
