About the Trail

Punchy climbs, technical features, and fast, flowing descents await on this moderate, out-and-back ride to Mile Marker 4. Because the trail is bi-directional, it delivers a completely different experience in each direction—every mile feels fresh when ridden in reverse.

The ride begins with a challenging first mile that climbs steadily uphill with plenty of twists and turns. Around Mile Marker 3, you'll tackle a rocky climb before descending through an even longer rock garden just before reaching Mile Marker 4.

At the turnaround, you'll find a picnic table that's perfect for taking a break, enjoying the water and snacks you packed, and soaking in the surroundings before heading back.

The return ride transforms the trail. Climbs become descents, familiar features take on new challenges, and the terrain offers an entirely different rhythm. What felt technical on the way out becomes fast and flowing on the way back, making the return trip every bit as rewarding as the ride to the turnaround.
