This is the easier, lower part of the Mt Ascension complex. I can't imagine a better trail to take a newby to get him into the sport. It has everything you could ask for in a MTB trail, but in small, non-threatening doses. There's even broad switchbacks on a mellow grade. Start at the lowr trailhead, head up trail, turning left on the Eagle Scout trail. At the intersection after the climb, head right and follow the Archery Range trail. There is some tough climbing and one likely dismount for lower level riders. When you think you've had enough, you'll hit the Entertainment trail--go right for a sweet but short downhill. At the bottom, turn right and head back to the car. If you go left at the Entertainment trail, you'll be on the insane climb up Mt Ascension.
