Land OwnerRock Solid Trail Contracting
Early Riser is a climbing-primary trail at the East Bluff Bike Park. The trail takes riders to the top of Bluejay Picnic before continuing to the edge of Rock Solid Trail Contracting property. Eventually it will continue onto DNR land once permits are secured. The trail parallels the campground and stream, with glimpses of Summer School on the opposite side of the valley. Optional rock gardens can be found alongside the trail for much of its length leading to Bluejay Picnic.
Access Info
The trail begins at the 'hub' near the bottom of Summer School. It dead-ends at the eastern property line and a rough cut to Mandan Road. Riders can either return via the road or take the trail back to Bluejay Picnic.
