High Point

If you are new to singletrack mountain biking, then we recommend you start with this loop. Go up the double track / hiking trail and then back on a couple other easier trails for a loop that is just under a mile. The first climb up the hiking trail is the worst for steep and roots, no shame in walking, after that it gets much easier. We hope to repair that section of trail this coming summer.

All trails are two-way directional, except the black diamond jump trails in the back.

Expert riders can ride the trails however they want - us locals all have different favorite loops We're hoping to add a little more trail and make more cohesive loops in the near future.

Enjoy
