High Point

If the idea of riding the steep, exposed and technical Day's Of Roses scares you then head around the lake counter clockwise for a slightly easier loop through Rose Valley. Catywumpuss provides some great traversing single-track and RSVP is an end of the ride reward of a strait up fast descent littered with wicked rock gardens.

trail	date	description
Jabbarocky	Oct 29, 2023 @ 4:53pm Oct 29, 2023	Although the sights on Jabba have changed, the trail is running as good as ever! Enjoy.
Lake Loop	Oct 14, 2023 @ 11:04pm Oct 14, 2023	No longer closed due to fire, outside park boundaries
Daze Of Roses	Oct 4, 2023 @ 4:50pm Oct 4, 2023	Sad and still shocking to see, nearly entire trail has severe fire damage. Many holes from burnt out root structures along the sides of the trail and at some points on the trail. At least half a dozen widow makers along the trail that wouldn't take a granny gear gasp to knock over. Going to need professionals to get this fixed up. "Shade tree" at the halfway lookout burnt bad but still standing, likely dead though. Hopefully Daze is resilient from erosion with the loss of roots structure in the side hill areas. East side of RV lake looks even worse.
