The Peterson Ridge West and East trails are excellent XC trails for any mountain biker looking for a good workout in nice scenery. Both trails can be combined as a large loop, best ridden counter-clockwise (out the West trail and back on the East). Several connector trails bridge the loop allowing for many length variations. Overall the trails are beginner-friendly, but note there are definitely several solid-intermediate rocky technical sections, though all are short and easy walks if needed. Generally, the far end of the loop is the most challenging, with short-but-steep climbs and narrow single track. Overall, though, it's a great place to just ride and enjoy the ponderosa pine forest and views to the west from the ridge (on the West trail).
