Description: The 6 Mile single track is a blast and has about 110 feet of climbing with enough short (but demanding) technical rock sections. Be ready to dismount few times on your first ride. It might seem short in lenght but it will take longer than you think; it gets more fun everytime you ride it. The loop runs one way which is clearly marked at the trailhead. The track was originary for Motorcycles that can still be ridden (be aware of them).

Found this trail last second and decided to ride it when I was in town. It was tough to find the trail at first. Once I found the Main loop it was a blast. Very techincal!! I think this is the best trail I have ridden in Texas so far and wish there were more trails like it. I wish I had my drop post on the bike for this ride, I'll have it next time.

Best riding I've found in the Austin area. Very challenging and technical terrain, not a place to bring beginners (or your wife). My personal opinion is that this trail screams for an adjustable height seatpost (like the Joplin R). It has made this already awesome trail, much more fun to rip.

The best trails in Texas! Not for the mtb'er who does not have technical skills.

Best trail in Texas! Love this place, and even though it is short, it is technical enough to keep you busy.

Fun, relatively short but technically challenging loop. Sections are very puzzle like, as in it took me several tries to figure out a workable series of lines for a few sections.

Not for the faint of heart, this is by far the most challenging trial I've found in Austin. Seemingly never-ending rock stairways, ledges, roots, climbs, you name it, its here. I love this trail, but wouldn't recommend it to the inexperienced, there are a lot of ways to hurt yourself here if you're not careful.

I'd use FS no question. Not for beginners. Great challenge in town.

I didn't like that there were so many moto-cross rutts. It made the ride too rough.

Sweetest singletrack in the Austin area hands down. Very technically challenging. Not for beginners.

Difficult. Six mile loop with technical rocky ledgy drops and climbs mixed with a bit of fast twisty hard pack. It's challenging - probably one of the most technical trails in Texas - but it's also a ton of fun.
