      • 30 ★ 0.0 • 6 miles • 1,668 ft • 6 • • atv
      Mostly rideable but definitely a dirtbike/ATV trail. Some sections with deep sand and large, loose rocks. There are some 40%+ grades- so there's a lot of hike-a-bike in both directions. Lots of big jumps throughout.

      Moderately popular black diamond difficulty doubletrack. This atv/orv/ohv primary trail can be used both directions. On average it takes 2 hours12 minutes to complete this trail.
      • 5 ★ 1.0 • 10 miles • 2,549 ft • 1 •
      Less popular blue difficulty singletrack. This multi-use trail can be used both directions and has a moderate overall physical rating with a 2,549 ft blue climb. Trail visibility is always easy to follow.
