Land Owner
The whole Foothills system is most popularly ridden in a counter-clockwise direction, though all trails are bi-directional. Ridden this way, trail 305 is an uphill trending singletrack with a couple short flowing descents interspersed. Overall the trail is very wide and smooth with only a couple of rocks here and there.
