Known as the family adventure trail. Zig zags across the pumice fields at the top. Some of the turns are lined with pavers. There a few rock gardens along this trail, but everything is very mellow and family friendly. At the bottom, turn left on Beach Cruiser to go around Reds Lake or turn right for a shorter route. Link up to Mountain View and Beach cruiser for flowy fun or to White Bark and Richter for more advanced features.

      You ride this trail to check it off, not for thrills. Very scenic, but nothing else to write home about. Wears you out if you are on a DH bike

      This is definitely a unique trail. You get a huge view from the top of the mountain but the ride itself is pretty boring. It's basically a dusty singletrack where you just go straight until a corner, turn, then keep going straight. It's as boring as it sounds. You'll catch a lot of slower riders since this will be their first intermediate trail in the park. The trail is so dusty that I ended up washing out twice despite literally going straight.

      Top is a Green run with loose tight turns some are reinforced with pavers. Middle has some fun things I would say an easy Blue.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
