Third Hill trail takes you to the summit of Third Hill and then back down. From the summit you can grab Ledge to shorten the descent if you prefer. I hesitate to call Third Hill a blue, but if it is, it is a hard blue and not a soft one. There are some real technical challenges, especially on the climb going either direction, and it can get quite steep in places. This is a super fun section of trail that offers a lot for the strong cyclist.

      I started at Wheel and took Third Hill to Ledge. Ledge was a bummer. The whole time I was climbing Third Hill to Ledge I felt like it would be awesome to go down. I deeply regret not just staying on third hill.

      Probably my favorite part of Mt. A ti ride. I like doing the loop clockwise. Besides one super steep short pitch towards the beginning (that I’m sure somebody could do) it’s all totally rideable. The descent is a fun chunky downhill with a few optional ledges to drop. I’d call it a light black.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
