Basic flow trail running parallel to the interstate. Lots of car noise detracting from the vibe. Handy if you want to add a couple more miles to your Church Rocks ride as an out and back
Galldredge
The trail runs across a large portion of the burn area but still as fast and easy as ever. A few sandy spots and a couple of technical rock options. For the most part any rider can have fun here if they try. No shade and very dry.

Trail is good to go- just have to access from Church rocks, not the Cottonwood trailhead.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
