Mountain Bike
Trail is intermediate in difficulty with steep mountainside terrain. Although the elevation change from the trail's highest to lowest point is only a few hundred feet, there are lots of ups and downs.Only park in the HHS lot after 5pm or on the weekend. Park out along the road otherwise. Trailhead is on the left approximately half way up the main entrance/driveway to the Health and Human Science Building. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
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.
