Rating aMTB1-2x
Description
Moto inspired, a lot of this area is very trike-able and loaded with some technical terrain. Fire roads run through the middle of everything so it’s great if are a weirdo like me who prefers to climb the wide stuff and DH the fun stuff. Trails listed here are very limited, but I plan on doing much more exploring because this place is rad! Beware moto traffic. Luckily you can hear them coming!
Staging
We parked at a small dirt lot off Little Park Road BUT there is a large, flat dirt lot with a primitive bathroom off of Third Flats Road (dirt).
Trails
Third Flats Road (aMTB1) - Wide open fire road that runs through the middle of the area
Twist-n-Shout (aMTB1x) - This trail is long and littered with flow and tech. More DH if ridden clockwise. It even has a cool slick rock section after the Nut-n-2-It intersection. Most riders will good, but there is some technical terrain so it gets a little x.
Rocky Stumble (aMTB2x) - There is a semi off-camber section in the beginning (if linking from Twist-n-Shout). Once past this, the trail gets visually interesting with cool-looking unique terrain. There a couple technical climbs so power assist, full suspension and rear wheel drive recommended.
Quad Rocker (aMTB2x) - THIS is the best trail we rode! If ridden clockwise, the DH section is insanely fun. There is a staircase which takes some line choice strategery and the lead into it is a little tricky. I got a spot on the lead in to be safe, but with practice I think its do-able solo. After that, let it rip! We did not ride the southeast section — climbed up Roll Over instead — but i’m told its all good. The quick climb back to the road is steep. Power assist and rear wheel drive recommended.
Roll Over Ridge Road (aMTB1) - Wide open fire. road, but its steep and loose. Riders with front wheel drive will probably need a push, but most will be good to go.
