Singletrack from the Disco Hill Trailhead to the main trail junction with Drunken Sheriff and the beginning of Enduro Trail at Trail Marker #3.

This is where most rides at Disco Hill begin. The trail is well traveled and relatively gentle for the first mile, then becomes steeper. Expect to see dog walkers, hikers, runners, mountain bikers, and the occasional horse on this multi-use trail.

Disco Hill trails are generally snow-free from April through November - great riding in the Spring and Fall, while summers can be hot and dusty. This area is within a BLM grazing allotment, with grazing generally occurring during the summer months. Winter fat biking can be excellent on user-packed singletrack trails.
