A selection of winding single track trails on the "Front Side" of the forest (keeping you off the more exposed "steep side"). You will do the entirety of the Maze area , as well as some other fine selections. This is a great intermediate ride and leaves room in the tank for more trails if so desired. All mountain bike types will work on this route including hardtails and fat bikes.

For a more advanced ride on the Steep Side, try the Freeride Sampler route
