Payson Canyon Stump Jumper trail with connectors to Elk Ridge
Fimpsac
Oops, This trail is not the one I reported above. This one is the dirt road that heads up toward the Four-Bay trails. The road is dirt, some small ruts, but mostly smooth and easy. It is a small uphill (or downhill) connector to other trails.
Fimpsac
Flat double track that is suitable for almost any skill of rider. I have taken my eight year old on the trail and she had a great time. There is a canal running on the east side of the trail. Very popular with hikers, bikers, and cows. It is a great access point for all of the other Four-Bay rides.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
