Land Owner
Up235 is the system’s primary climbing trail, offering a steady, enjoyable ascent to the trail network’s high point. The climb rewards riders with expansive views of the surrounding landscape before descending to the junction of RADium and YellowCakeWalk. With its smooth grade and well-built surface, Up235 makes for a fun and approachable climb for riders of all levels.
Mud Springs was built with adaptive friendly standards and is great for handcycle riders. This trail ranges between 40-48" wide and has no pinch points narrower than 43 inches. Some berms are present however they have flatter bottoms, and the out slope of tread does not exceed 10 degrees. Turns have a radius of 15 feet or greater.
MUD WARNING The system is in clay soils and does not hold up well when wet. Please do not ride or hike during or after rain or snow events. Doing so will leave ruts and damage the trails.
Access Info

Nice, wide, gentle climb. Seems wide enough for hand-bikes.

Really great up trail for families. My 6 year old felt like a superhero climbing.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
