Chilhowee is the longest and probably the most diverse trail in the network. Chilhowee runs from the Oval Office to Intersection (R). This section can be ridden in either direction. Both directions are equally fun and challenging. From Intersection (R), the trail wanders over several rollers and rock features until you reach the rabbit hole. From there, Chilhowee features a fun technical descent with a rocky section thrown in for good measure. Chilhowee then runs from Intersection (P) until it meets Bomb Dog at Intersection (L). This section is a long techincal descent that takes you through a variety of rock features, sharp turns, and finally some flow as you merge onto Bomb Dog.

Highly underrated trail. So much fun!! It's a great out and back to get the full experience! The downhill from Goldilocks to Bomb Dog is one the best at the mountain imo
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
