Glorious Poperds is part of the signed full mountain bike, it crosses through meadows over a pair of phone pole bridges that may be surrounded by water part of the year while on the way to the south end (McNamara parking lot).

Near the end you'll find Smokey & The Bandits signed off to your left. Hit it for some pump track fun.
