Pete's Dragon is the trail to ride in the Sun Mountain area. A must-ride trial that has well-built berms and plenty of rollable features that will make riders of all abilities smile. The trail has three distinct sections (upper, middle, and Lower) which each have their own character. The Evergreen crew has been improving Pete's Dragon for the last several years. Petes is a downhill trail only.
