Description: The singletrack climbs Badger Mountain, approximately 800 ft gain in about 1-1/2 miles. The trail continues down the back side to Dallas Road (the other trailhead). The trail is intersected by access roads (there are cell towers at the top of the mountain) and the roads are a nice change of pace and steeper than the trails. MTBs must share the trail with hikers, though there is a hiker-only trail on the north face.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Buttery smooth ribbon of trail—nicest I've ridden in that area so far. If anything, it was too perfect. There are no roots or logs (or trees), and the only rocks are at the summit of the trail. It was hot, dusty and desert-like, but not loose. The switchbacks are all rideable, and the rolling quality makes this a fast, fun ride. The trail overlooks an orchard as it snakes along the side of the mountain.
Similar Trail: Sidewinder singletrack outside Heise, Idaho. Maybe some of the Round Valley Loop in Park City (by the NAC, not the rocky backside).
