Mountain Bike
The C Trail is a great trail for any rider to boost their confidence on switchbacks. This trail is not an easy trail but includes some good climbs up and should be done by those who are in good physical condition. C Trail has several starting points, depending on when and how the rider wants to make it to the top. The real fun of the ride starts at the top as riders will make their way down through many twists and turns. All of the turns on the trail do not require any special technique, but good balance and good braking. Most of the turns will have burms on them, which makes it easier to go down. On the upper portion of the trail, there will be less trail maintence done by volunteers, making it more rocky and difficult.
This trail takes people up to the top of the C letter in Cedar Monuntain. This trail is very popular for hikers, so riders need to be aware when they are heading downhill for any hikers.
