Mountain Bike
This is typical Douglas County Open Space, with wide singletrack, most of which is technically easy. After a short hop out from the parking area, there are two lollipops. To the south a trail which will take you to the top of Lincoln Mountain, make a quick loop up top, and return. To the north is the Palmer Divide Loop, which is a little longer, but without as much climbing. Most of the singletrack is wide and free of obstacles, but there are a few rock gardens and techy bits along the way to spice things up. The Lincoln Mountain loop rides equally good in either direction. The Palmer Divide Loop is best done counterclockwise. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
