Mountain Bike
The trail can be accessed from the Dreamy Draw Park parking lot. From there, the trail can be ridden south towards its origin, or east (the trail makes an "L" shape). It is a mix of double and singletrack with some climbing and technical areas. Lots of loose decomposed granite. Courtesy of singletracks.com
This is a lollipop-shaped trail whose "stick" section is easy riding & mostly parallels roadways but is still fun. The "loop" section has some great intermediate riding you don't want to miss & some unrideable sections which are really for hikers, not bikes. All of the western section of the loop is a "don't miss" & the northern area remains fun & rideable, sharing some sections with Trail 100. Courtesy of mtbproject.com
More Information
Never 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.
