      Fun descent and good option for your climb route to the top of Little Mountain. Has some tight switchbacks, rooty areas, and a log ride, skinny to play on.

      • 75 ★ 3.4 • 2,106 ft • 118 ft • 544 •
      Great way to the top for people who enjoy the climb. Really fun in the downhill direction. A few spots to get the wheels off the ground, but is on a steep hillside with some off camber sections, rock gardens, root drops etc. Care should...
      • 60 ★ 0.0 • 1,220 ft • 0 ft • 532 •

      Can be ridden in either direction, though I find it best enjoyed starting from the Sidewinder/Service Road/Bonnie & Clyde's Junction. Some tight switchbacks, off camber, roots and rock gardens can make this trail difficult for some...
      • 85 ★ 3.8 • 2,766 ft • 5 ft • 515 •
      Flowy fun with potential to get the wheels off the ground in a few spots when ridden in the downhill direction. Haven't climbed it yet, but it doesn't seem like it would be terrible... other than the buzzkill you'd be to any downhill...
      • 75 ★ 3.5 • 4,557 ft • 186 ft • 452 •
      Is mostly downhill when ridden from the road at either end to where it joins Cairn Trail near midpoint. Can be fun when you combine the lower section with Rooty or the upper section with Huff-N-Puff. Bail off on Cairn to get to the...
