      Fun up and down winding short little trail. Great for a quick after work ride. A few tough but doable climbs. Really fun downhill. Popular with horse riders because the lower trailhead has trailer parking but the upper one at Whiting...
      • 100 ★ 4.3 • 2,431 ft • 14 ft • 16 •
      Easy trail alongside Whiting Campground. For bikers, moderate uphills and the downhill can be be slow and easy or can be difficult with some high speeds
      • 90 ★ 4.2 • 4 miles • 2,474 ft • 14 •
      This trail follows an old dirt road, and is open to many uses. Most of it is a gradual slope, until the climb at the end onto the ridge. For bikers, this trail has everything: medium-distance swoopy sections, interminable lengths of...
      • 85 ★ 4.5 • 5 miles • 4,611 ft • 10 • • hike
      Much of the trails length is shaded by beautiful Box Elder, Douglas Fir, and Aspen. It becomes more open at the upper elevations, until it crosses beautiful wilde meadows near Lake, with small groves of Apsen and Subalpine Fir...
      • 60 ★ 4.0 • 2 miles • 1,866 ft • 7 • • hike
      Beautiful but steep, this north-facing canyon has waterfalls, root-filled fir forests, loamy soil, aspens, and 6-foot tall ferns. While the trail is not on official USFS inventory, it's clearly been in use for decades. Because it's so...
      • 95 ★ 0.0 • 2,379 ft • 186 ft • 4 •
      Two way direction trail in the shade and the better climbing alternative versus the climb
      • 50 ★ 3.0 • 2 miles • 704 ft • 4 •
      Branches off from main and heads to the ridge. Motorcycles are not allowed, so it can get overgrown a bit. Some smooth sections and some great views.
      • 55 ★ 3.0 • 2 miles • 253 ft • 4 •
      Typical "Version 1" of the BST, along the existing utility/firebreak road. This is generally easy, except one substantial climb over a hill.
