Trail 65 is a fun and rocky route down from Maverick Mountain. It is best rode DH, but can be hiked up. Just don't expect to be on the bike for the whole thing when riding up. The trail is primarily loose rock over semi-hard pack dirt, with heavy leaf coverage in the fall. A must ride for anyone who like to adventure from the normal trails. This trail is open to dirt bikes and ATV's under 50".
