Description
This is a great alternative to the classic route if you want to do something new. Big Boulder has some very fast, narrow singletrack through dark woods and occasional big exposure. A couple batches of tight switchbacks will surprise you on your first run, so be ready. The tread is occasionally rutted and very soft/dry late in the season. High speed, technical challenges abound. The climb up the OHV is brutal, but you'll be glad you did!

Review: IMBA didn't miss the mark on this one - wow. The Big Boulder Trail itself isn't super long, but so sweet while it lasts and with big scenery/views. It's also a great way to escape the crowds doing the "classic" route. If you get shuttled (which I highly recommend unless you relish many hours of climbing steep asphalt) the climb on the OHV roads isn't that bad - it's all rideable. From the bottom, you can link Second or Third Divide.
