TTFs on TrailRock Garden
From east to west it is a mellow uphill climb to a short fun downhill followed by some fun hillside riding for a while. Fast and fun trail to access the more options. Uphill direction is harder but doable. Was closed for a year due to the Museum Fire but reopened July 29, 2020. Part of the trail in the burn scar was rerouted in August 2023.
Disclaimer
Trail may have hazards caused by the Museum Fire, ride with caution.

As of 5/13/23 maybe 10-15 trees down across the trail. The bench cut re-route heading towards Big Bang is really nice albeit also covered with trees.
