Trail Cobble Miner Trail
Good single track climb trail to the towers. An easier alternative to climb is the tower trail but cobbler miner is more engaging.

Trail Cobble Miner Trail
My kids (9&12) love this climb. Although I think for beginner riders (of any age) it’s more of a blue. Lots of roots and short steep switchbacks increase the difficulty.

Trail Mazama Drop
Great trail. Corners are a bit loose. Could use some berm build up and raking of loose rock.

Trail Mazama Drop
IMO the Best trail in Elkwater, what a treat to ride! Amazing flow, the switchbacks are hella fun, a few good jumps with lots of chances at smaller jumps or just some pumping to get your speed up. I love this trail will ride again!

Classic XC trail! Great to climb or descend, take this as a connector to some of the other trails. Trail was in great shape. We used this as a climb connector to access other trails.

Trail Cobble Miner Trail
This is a great trail for more beginner MTBers such as myself. I would take in this trail starting on the Mystery / Lower Mystery before graduating to the ultra fun but way more rooty Beaver Creek Trail!
