Hike and Mountain Bike
Right on the edges of town outside of the Hidden Valley subdivision, you'll find this fun little set of trails that's pretty good for mountain bikes. What was once just dirt roads and a dirt bike playground is now a fantastic mountain bike trail network.
West Side:
The West Side is what's commonly referred to as Hidden Valley Trails. It is a well-developed trail network with good signage and a few parking spots. It includes a variety of downhill trails and easy climbs, each between 0.3-0.4 mi long.
- High Road is a wide cut trail from old double track. Pretty straight with a few floater style roller jumps. It's also a popular climbing trail with a fairly gradual grade once you get past the climb at the start.
- Flow State is a meandering flow trail with several berms.
- Surge is a fairly straight shot jump line
- Sage Runner is a swoopy trail that mostly follows the contour of the hill with a little up around many of the turns. This trail is not heavily bermed.
- The Draw is a wide cut trail from old double track. Pretty straight with several large floater style roller jumps. It's also a popular climbing trail with a fairly gradual grade until you're almost to the top.
- Other trails:Rusty Ridge, The Drop Zone, Lil' Sendy, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, Pulse, A-Fib, Neature Walk
East Side: the undeveloped east half of the valley (Hidden Valley Singletrack and Dr. Jekyll) is listed separately as East Hidden Valley.
PLEASE NOTE: This is private property that the owners are kind enough to permit use right now. Please respect their surrounding fields and stay on the trails that are already there. Please respect the residents near the trailhead and don't block driveways.
