Land OwnerDCR
Trail used by both MTB and Dirt Bikes. One direction for dirt bikes but MTB can ride either direction - although the preferred direction is the same as the dirt bikes. There is a very tough rooty climb on this trail that leads to another tough ledge climb. Successfully get all the way on top of the ledge for great views. From the top of the ledge the moto trail goes down the granite slope. Alternatively, if you dive into the treeline at the top of the ledge, there is another way down that may be a bit more fun for MTB.
