About this Trail Area: There are some beginner trails in the lower elevations and as you go higher so does the fitness level and technical difficulty. Spend anywhere from 1 – 4 hours here, depending on the trail you want to go on. Take care to avoid causing erosion on the many steep slopes. The area is very open and dry, so during the heat of the day make sure you bring lots of water. This area offers a fast flowy descent with jumps, ladders and easy log rides.  These trails are not sanctioned, so use at your own risk.
