Description
his trail is made up of six trails which unfortunately are not all loops. In

order to ride every trail out there you will have to go back over some trails

you have already ridden. With that said this is still one of my favorite trails

to ride and each trail offers something a little bit different then the other.

The Inner Loop and Carriage trail are probably about the easiest trails out

there. The Inner is all single track that twists and turns through a meadow

and tree line, it is fast and flat and a great place to start a novice out on.

Carriage Trail is an old dirt road that is slowly being taken back by mother

nature. This trail is short and does not make up a loop unless you use the

Settler trail to create what we call the Outer Loop. Carriage is a fairly flat

and non technical trail with very few turns. If you are traveling from the

north heading south on the Carriage there is a nice little berm at the end

which makes for a nice place to catch a little air. Using the Inner and Outer

Loops makes for a great novice ride, recovery ride or speed work.

Settler Trail runs south to north connecting Fern Loop to the Earthquake

Ridge Loop. For the most part this trail does not have much in climbing, it is

a little rocky in places and has a little drop off nothing a beginner could not

handle. It does run through a section we call the Pine Needle Floor because

of all the Pine needles that cover the trail, a little caution here as those

needles can make the front tire wash out. Settler Loop also connects the

Rocky Bottoms trail to the Earthquake Ridge trail. For more information go
