Locals rejoice. Our first grunt-free climb ever, on an easy ascent that zippers up the face of lower Morning Mountain and started the revolution of this neglected area into a must-ride trail system.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB 1 Rating: No obstacles exist. Wide enough. Can be ridden confidently solo.

Has a few tight uphill switchbacks that require a 3-point turn. May prove a little challenging for new adaptive riders with limited hand/hip function. The trail crew knows and it should be fixed for the 2024 season
