Mountain Bike
Newer Trail, constructed by conservation group, with several singletrack bridges, log ramps, rivers, bridges. This is an incredible oasis hidden in the middle of the city. YOu'll feel 100 miles away, when you get caught up in the quick turns, accelerations needed to ascend the quick hills. It's pretty flat, but plenty of tight turns, and 10's of trails to mix it up. It would take 3-4 days to ride it all. There's also a cool Carved Eagle and animal wooden carved bench for the much needed rest about 1 mile west of the trailhead. Highly recommended for all skill levels due to the groomed double track road when its' time for the much needed rest from the singletrack trails. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
