Wildebeest Route route

Honestly one of the most fun trails to bomb in Bentonville, needs A bit of work to restore it to the absolute screamer that it once was though

Only 1 10ft section that would be reason trail is rated a black trail. Worth riding either way.

Don't waste your time up here. Ride Jesse's last stand and the all-american jump line, then ride the gravel path to Medieval, etc.

One of the best tech trails in bville bar-none.

Great trail! This is one of the few bright spots in little sugar.

Unfortunately all the flow trails at Huntley gravity zone are extremely loose. Couldn't have any fun here. The only good jump trail in little sugar that I've found is vista east

Amazing tech trail. One of my favorite trails in bville. make sure to continue all the way on Sally trail over to Madhatter and back again.

Not worth the effort. For some fun and challenging tech hit Boom diggity then head to wonderland Sally trail.

The most scenic trail near Bentonville, riding along and under large rock ledges with a small water fall and cave

Had a great time sessioning this little jump line! Excellent trail building.

Love this trail!

A great place to practice some jumps. Pro tip if you wanna do some sessioning without having to bike all the way back from the bottom: you can run through the first five(ish) jumps and there is a offshoot trail to the left that leads to the fire road which you can take back to the top. The offshoot trail is right after the three jumps in a row.

Awesome trail but in serious need of maintenance. It made the back 40 look clean.

Trail direction is backwards

Best trail I've ridden in Bentonville area so far

Adds a tiny bit of extra pedaling to the loop, but if you’re going CCW it sets you up a lot better for the first downhill stretch on the loop.

Closed at north a street

I think the problem with the first comments complaining about the flow is the direction of the ride... I've found it's SUPER flowy if you start Traverse Loop from Beau Terre Trailhead, ride it COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (stay east to the hub, stay west back to Beau Terre), enjoy the Hub and gravity trails in the middle of the loop then return back to Beau Terre. Avoid Northern Traverse if you don't want to climb.

A microcosm of Tunnel Vision. Test ride this to see if you want the bigger version. You’re either going up or going down. Of course the descents are fun, but the climbs are pretty brutal and they add up fast. As with TV, I wish the trail builders had added in more pitch moderation in spots to give the trail more variety and to be less of a climb-fest. As is, plan on riding when the temperatures aren’t so high or when you’re in better shape! Last, confirmation of counterclockwise direction.

Super fun but signage at the drop in show it as green but with the lack of easy bypass of jumps and the well marked drop it’s a bit tough to be a green.

IDK if Bentonville is the MTB capital of the World, but Coler has certainly become the Ebike capital of world. Vroom vroom, no bueno.

I vehemently disagree, but I'm not surprised at all by the negative comments. I felt the same way the first few times I rode the Traverse Loop, because it's so much different than the other trails in the area, and a lot of trails in other places as well. It's also in stark contrast to the "gravity lines" that are also a part of the system that all depart from the central "hubs." Those are much closer to "flow trail" builds, while the loop proper, is the opposite.

It was built with the intent to be more narrow and natural, like some old school Colorado "hand cut jank," that forces riders to make their own flow so you can't just mindlessly ride the trail.

I've grown to absolutely love it as an alternative to the other trails in the area that are wider, machine cut, and have limited technical challenges. This loop has a few areas that are just technical enough to keep you on your toes, and force you to pick good lines. Yes, it's different, and I think it has to "grow on you" in some regards, which is the same sentiment that many other locals would express as well.

I 2nd that! The first 4/5ths of the trail is good in the clockwise direction but the last 1/5th sucks as bad as any trail I’ve ever tried to ride! It actually seems like an abandoned project!

Great new jump trail at the south end. Can park at Lake Avalon pavilion. Then go across to vista East trail for another great jump trail.

Great jump trail. Can park at Lake Avalon pavilion just south of the trail.

Nice trail but too many loose rocks on trail. And I just really dislike wasting descents on back & forth switchbacks. Total waste of previous climb.

Worst trail ever. Should be called "Flow Killer". I don't think I've ever ridden 6.5 miles with less flow! Or ever had SO much climbing completely wasted on too-tigh switchback descents. Trail is latgely covered in loose, spherical rocks that range from golfball to softball size. Most switchbacks are way too sharp and often those turns are full of rocks (like several layers deep).

Good beginner green. Parked at Wonderland Trail Head and rode the trail back and forth. Riding with true beginners. Banked curves were hard and they walked the intimidating parts. Wider than some single tracks. Nothing technical. Pretty trail.

Rode it South to North and what a blast. Lots of fun even though the first bit was super muddy.

Rode Landline today from North to South (opposite direction on the app) and it was stellar.

Great trail! BVille trail building genius at work!

Genius trail building. A trip to BVille without a descent of the AA trail is a fail.

Should be a unidirectional trail—that is, DH only. Was possibly the best trail in BVille when it debuted; however, it eventually became very rocky so traction isn’t great, so bombing is not what it could be and once was. Need one of the dozens of BVille trail crews for a day or two, or some forced labor during the nearby school’s recess for a month, to clear the rocks and restore Tristan’s glory!

I get where the above poster is coming from, but I though this was fun gravel riding with a screaming downhill in both directions. Yes, you have to pay for it but it’s pretty country and good time in the saddle.

Old school single track. Tight and not flowy with some techy parts. Peddlefest. Needs to be ridden more and to get wider. Trail building machine would also help. I’ll skip this section next time.

A nice tech trail in a sea of mediocre intermediate gravely dirt trails.

Trail is now open. All jumps are rollable table tops. There is a skinny into the tree that is extremely narrow.

Fantastic trail. While much is blue, this is def a black trail. I road in rain and its tough for sure. If you can do Oscar's in Coler, you'll be good here. Exposure isn't life threatening but def limb. South to North is the only way.

Blue for sure, even in rain

Avoid at all costs. Brutal climb and sketch down hill. Drive to hand cut hollow.

This trail has some amazing views of rock ledges and water flowing off the rocks. Make sure you stop to enjoy the view.

Currently being reworked by Rogue Trails. The trail is being widened. Looks really good so far.

Great Ride. Best counter clockwise

Mostly a flowy trail with good jumping opportunities. The drop at the beginning is intimidating but rollable. About 3/4 of the way down it turns into a gnarly rock garden. There’s a return trail just after the 3rd bridge if you want to avoid the rock garden and give the fun stuff another go. Honestly, I’d rate the rock garden a black.

Did this ccw. Really good work out for hiking although definitely made for biking. Hopefully they will work on better parking but overall an enjoyable hike.

Fun trail. If hiking may want to start at 2nd entrance opposite as bikes.

I'm a new rider but I love this trail (going down). Nice flow with several places to really get moving. I can't say I'll ever try to go all the way up it on a bike though.

very nice flow to this trail

As of 7/26/21 the first berm was kinda washed out and created a pretty nasty fall zone. Still a great ride!

Fun if you’re going down, and going fast. Not too bad steep if you’re going up

Flow, flow, flow! Absolutely awesome

This trail is signed as one way only. Start is on the south end near downtown and the end is on the north end.

After riding a bunch of times, definitely flows better and more fun counterclockwise. Add in an out n back stretch going west on Tunnel Vision to add miles and a few more fun/fast sections of trail!

Good trail. I would give it a blue/black rating. If your not comfortable riding on a ledge 18" wide or so you're probably not going to enjoy it. A couple of spicy sections easily walkable.

Shows a black track on the map... I'm not so sure. Is there a "Blue +" rating for a climb? Some of the climb can be hard, but there's nothing technical about it.

Due to a detour on Tunnel Vision I had to ride this trail South to North. I highly recommend it (it would likely be fun but more of a slog the other way). One of the hidden gems within the system for sure!!! Tons of flow but easier grades (you can haul and pedal at the same time) and perfect corners and berms. I also think an owl lives on the trail. I saw one and then a few hours later my wife did at the same spot.

Go CounterClockwise for a better time!

Nice trek today on the Down Under Trail. The 5 miles was a good mix of rolling hills with some decent climbing and descends. With all the rocks it was nice to have trekking poles for the climbs and descends. I recommend this trail for folks that want to have a nice 2 hour hike that starts and ends at the same place with a good loop. I was disappointed not to see any kangaroos...Ha...Ha...

I did not enjoy this trail. Made a poor choice with so many better choices available.

Correction- sign at bottom of gravity line says One Way, Do Not Enter.

Correction to gravity portion- should be ‘one way, do not enter’ at the bottom.

Don’t know about the gravity portion being both directions as sign at the bottom says ‘One way’ in the uphill direction.

This is one of those trails where you wish there was a chairlift

This trail is a short climb up to the top of boo-boo and choo-choo

Accurate description, this trail will lead you all the way to slaughter pen phase one. There are lots of smooth dirt rollers, berms, and all the jumps are optional.

The map calls it peak a boo, but trail signs indicate it as boo-boo. Box jumps with rock lips and berms

Tons of massive, newly paved berms all the way down

I agree with arwhite19, the dirt is super smooth and jumps are much easier to clear than cease and desist.

SUPER fun intermediate jump line with all rock lips that help you boost the jumps easily. No scary gaps, a must hit if your in the phase three area

Such a unique little trail. Great for any skill level. Leaves beginners feeling like they have accomplished something and experts can go big.

Unpopular opinion, but I think these jumps are more fun than the upper section of Cease and Desist before you drop the hammer. Make sure you don't stop pedaling between jumps though.

This trail is no longer rated as black in person - it's blue.

This shouldn’t be a black. It’s a smooth trail with a couple small jumps at the top and soil tac berms the rest of the way down. GREAT flow on this bad boy

Super technical trail. If you like tech rock gardens this trail is a blast. Looks like it would suck in the opposite direction of recommended.

If you're gonna call apple turnover a black, Medusa should be a blue.

Much more technical than the other black trails around slaughter pen. Very difficult to clear in the direction opposite of what is recommended; probably slightly easier in the recommended direction.

She's a beaut, another great BVille trail. Did it CW, but looks equally fun in both directions.

Yowza, if you hate flow, and love big momentum crushing rock gardens, this is your trail!!

Absolutely amazing work of rideable and jumpable art! A must-ride for anyone hitting Bentonville... options to roll, send or wall ride... !!!

Fun short trail with big berms back and forth. My 7 year old road this trail so black may be a little(lot) bit of a stretch.

This is one of my favorite trails if not my absolute favorite. Not too many people so you can let loose and enjoy the ride. It is a challenging trail but idk if I would call it an expert trail. It is very fun. Flows really well at times and other times it's pretty technical. I would suggest riding from south to north so start out on the Commonwealth road side and go down to the Grosvenor road end.

Fantastic trail! Worth the climb on Oscar. Pure joy riding downhill!

Rode from north to Red Barn. Rocky; some nice up and down.

Start from the Red, not the green to avoid 3 miles of steep incline. Whoops, great trail.

Did this one clockwise from the parking area by cunningham. It has a very intense startoff but some climbing after that. Quite a bit of climbing but some really fun downhill parts as well. I would imagine it might be more fun the other way but I'll let you know next time. Great workout.

Don’t know why this is listed as Black. It’s a smooth trail with some rollable jumps on the top and some big berms on the bottom. I think SP lists it as blue, no real technical skill needed (though more experienced riders can play more on it).

The top section of this trail that extends to the Kingsdale complex is actually a part of Tunnel Vision (the whole Tunnel Vision loop isn’t on here b/c it’s not officially open to the public yet)
Landline begins on the west side of Chelsea.

This trail is great! Jumps for days all very well built. A great jump progression trail.

Its paved, but it's also a little twisty. Fun if you are going to a different trailhead... Just another paved path really.

Opookckcj

Top of Fireline closed for trail work. Disappointed, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it.

This is NOT a black Diamond trail. Blue trail at max.

My favorite trail in Northwest Arkansas. Starting at the hub and riding downhill, Fire Line has amazing flow.
