      DR is permanently open to bikes. Dope! It’s a great climbing trail and would be a fun moderate descent, however, OTR and Ginny is a better downhill option if you have the skills. Note however that dogs are NOT allowed anywhere in Bobcat Ridge.

      Rode this Memorial Day 2024. Still posted as temporarily open both directions, although you don't find that sign until you get to the start of the trail at the intersection with Valley Loop, 3 miles from the parking lot. I saw 5 bikes and zero horses on this trail, despite a full parking lot. There were a lot of hikers on the valley trails.

      It's a nice winding smooth singletrack, and it's in the unburned section of the park. Much more shade than Ginny, and a much more enjoyable climb IMO. It is a relentless low-gear climb though, took me 1.5 hours up. Would be a fun mellow downhill too, if you're not up for the technical (and fairly intense) Ginny.

      Not downhill only. Bidirectional. Temporary for now, but could become permanent. Come on folks, everyone be cool and play nice to make it happen!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
