The green trail at Lebanon Hills is a family friendly warm up trail that can be looped for inexperienced rides and leads to the intermediate trail entrance. The trails are all smooth with very gradual ups and downs. Great place to twist through the big trees and warm up or learn to ride.

There are a few roots and turns that can be a tiny bit tricky for kids, but great practice. There is even a couple little bridges that are parallel between a hairpin turn.

 Rained just enough to knock down the dust and lock the sand together. Perfect riding conditions.

 Excellent conditions albeit dry and a little dusty. High school mtb teams descended on Leb. Coaches may want to repeat trail etiquette lessons...
