Bedlam is the furthest trail from the parking area, and likely ranks up there as one of the most challenging. Simply due to it's elevation changes and rather raw old school singletrack. Most locals enjoy it figure 8 that is start out clockwise, after the first long climb look to your right and you should see a log skinny taking you over the start of a drain ravine, head across it and then stay left, you are treated with a nice flow up on top and a fun downhill along side another ravine. soon you will be back at that center pinch point, and you cross the same log skinny, but then hang a right and complete the Bedlam loop down to the stream and a nice bench to catch your breath on.
