      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
      • 5 ★ 4.3 • 1 mile • 418 ft •
      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...
      • 5 ★ 4.2 • 4 miles • 2,474 ft •
      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...
      • 5 ★ 0.0 • 1,722 ft • 0 ft •
      Fun and steep section of trail that drops from the divide back to the road.
      • 5 ★ 4.0 • 2 miles • 1,866 ft • • 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...
      • 5 ★ 3.0 • 2 miles • 704 ft •
      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.
      • 5 ★ 3.0 • 2 miles • 253 ft •
      Typical "Version 1" of the BST, along the existing utility/firebreak road. This is generally easy, except one substantial climb over a hill.
      • 5 ★ 0.0 • 2 miles • 840 ft •
      Follows a ridge out to a point overlooking Hobble Creek Canyon
