Mountain Bike
The trail is short with a really steep section, that is also short... Ride the trail CCW, about 10 times. Going CW there is a 5 foot technical section that is tough because you're going so slow uphill. The view from the top of Bald Mountain is spectacular, and the trail is nice winding through the trees. You're in mountain lion country (posted at the trail head), so bring your slower friends. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Add ResourceNever modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
