    Rock Garden

Conveniently located close to Base Camp, this single tracked trail is scenic, passing through a couple a nice wetlands and hardwood and hemlock stands. Some parts can be wet and muddy at the beginning of the season or under wet conditions, and there are a few rocky areas. This is a moderate trail for biking but it offers a good hike.
