Description: This Network of trails has a bit of everything, and there is really not much elevation gain and loss, Very Moderate.
The new North Backbone is super fun but tight with quick turns, not a super fast trail but you will use your technical skills.
Rattle Snake gets you pretty much to most of the trails, very easy trail not much gain, you might run overs some tumbleweed tho!
Burn pile is a blast to go down hill, fun swooping turns.
Tenderfoot is much more technical but still not much elevation gain.
front side trail is a great way to descend back down to your car.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by trek7k on August 16, 2011
Incredible trail system with easy access from town. This is a stacked loop system meaning (essentially) the beginner trails are close in while the farther you go out, the tougher the trails get. Some machine cut stuff for families and rougher, technical trails for advanced riders. Bonus: the S Mountain side faces south so these trails are ready to ride almost year-round.
Similar Trail: Similar to some trails in the Fruita area. Also reminded me of Bootleg Canyon outside Las Vegas.

Good close trails near Salida. We only did the lower half of it but found the new North Backbone trail to be slower and technical in some parts but also has good flowy track as well. Cottonwood is almost all downhill from the end of Uncle Nazty and is fast and fun close to town. Make sure to take a dip in the chilly Arkansas afterwards too!
Similar Trail: Sidewinder Trail- Boise Foothills

starts with a nice steady uphill section followed by rolling single track, mixed in with technical rocky areas. great variety all in the same trail. * Review edited 7/12/2011
