Description: A great system of trails that puts you on top of the world as you are cruise around the very top of Beech Mountain, NC. Trails are primarily single track, with limited double track and Jeep trail sections. Moderate to difficult, with some very difficult short sections. Absolutely spectacular views. Try the Exterra Trail Race route to get a taste of everything.

So-so trail that in a lot of places was not up to IMBA standards where the turns were too tight and straight uphill without a lot of switchbacks. Has some promise but needs attention and work. I'd rate it 2.5 if given the option

Awesome trail system atop Beech Mountain!!! We hope to extend the trails back into the West Bowl area, which has some nice creek crossings and cross country trails. From there it'll go down to Westerly Hills and a X-Mas tree farm. I would definitely check these trails out!

Maze-like trail system high atop Beech Mtn NC. They've done alot of trail work over the last year or so - and the trails show it, including a few new bridges and lots of new trail signage, which is extremely helpful finding your way around. Some gravel roads, but mostly single track, VERY rooty, with occasional advanced rocky/rooty sections. Had to walk more than I usually do after halting on steep climbs with root clumps. Doesn't feel terribly "ridden in" which adds to the difficulty. More technical trails, not your roller-coaster-bermy singletrack, But a great ride overall: rooty and rowdy. Absolutely fantastic views - and the mid-summer temps way up there (5000+) rarely get up to the 80's so its great way to get away from the summer heat.* Review edited 5/29/2011
