Compared to the trails in the Ash Canyon network, EZ Trail is generally more difficult, being both more strenuous and technical. The lower section of EZ has an average grade of 8 percent with multiple sections where the climbs exceed that. Additionally, some of the sections require riders to navigate through jagged volcanic rocks. The upper section is less steep but has a few loose scree fields that can be somewhat challenging to ride. This ride traverses the southern face of C-Hill, with very little vegetation or shade it can get quite hot in the summer.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Like a condensed version of Ash to Kings, this trail was surprisingly fun. Looped it with Lincoln Bypass and it made for a quick, fun after work rip.

      Surprised this trail doesn't have more reviews. Absolute blast riding west to east. Not sure I'd ever want to try it the other way. Several chunky bits at the top to work through and some scattered chunk along the descent. Nothing too crazy. I don't even know what trail raitings mean anymore. I guess this is a black by local standards?

      Road here last week. It was really hard for me as I am new to MTBing. But I pulled it off with only a few mishaps and a wipe out on the lower non technical portion (watch out for loose gravel). Beautiful views

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
