You can access the Feldmeier Trail near the top of Trail #396 Goldwater Lakes Trail. The first mile or so is a nice twisty ride through the trees. Then comes the fun part

The well-manicured trail goes away and you are faced with an old school mountain biking trail. The trail winds in and out of a creek with some sharp turns and steep descents.

The trail then ends at an intersection with Trail #81 Bannon Creek Trail which gives you multiple options to continue your ride.

      Rode this April 9. Some water in the creek. Gnarliest section was this creek bed. Easy blue for the rest of the trail.

      Large downed tree in the middle of the trail about halfway down. Looks like it's been there awhile.

      I came across this trail by accident when trying to find a way from Groom Creek to Prescott. As the other biker said, this was a super fun trail going downhill. They did a great job laying this one out. Similar to Groom you had loose rock, not as much but pretty chunky in different sections. There were a few drops and a couple rocks to jump. You follow the creek bed down so I can imagine during wet season it could get muddy. It was bone dry during my ride.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
