This was the WSMTB race in 2023. A nice way to traverse almost the entire park. Lots of fun, very flowy,...

The part of hustle and flow in the middle of Swan Creek mtb park leads right into this trail Chasing Squirrels. I always go to the top right next to Major Tom and Ground Control then ride all the way down as fast as I can pump into Chasing Squirrels. If you go left of the Chasing Squirrels sign (right next to the access road that cuts through Swan Creek mtb park) then you will go on a much more techy trails with awesome roots, rocks, and a wood log skinny. Great trail that could use some table tops for sure!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
