Review: Great, fast trail had no problems following the trail. There are a lot of good flowing sections, and you can get real fast. Over all had a great time. Good job to the trail builders.

Review: No markings at all on this trail. Got lost several times and barely got in 3 miles. There were some fun sections.

Review: Really a fun trail. Lots of fast flowing sections. A few short climbs but nothing too bad. worth the short trip over the river

Review: Very fun intermediate/ advanced trail. lots of tight flowing single-track with steep gullys, bermed turns and logs thrown in. Good bike handling, and braking skills required to ride this fast (that's the fun way to ride it). No need for a dropper post here, just drop the seat, and leave it down. Drains well after a rain, 24 hrs should do it. Do to all the trail in a small area it can be a little confusing at first, just go ride, no worry of getting lost.

Review: I rode this trail today and it was a lot of fun. The trailhead starts at either of the Green Signs that you will see to the left side of the road in the woods as you're driving towards the Monument. The parking lot is further up towards the red signs on the right. As for the trail, there are some nice fun descents with speed and some climbs as well. If there were some jumps added, it would be even more fun. Some log crossings in the trail too. Nice tight switchbacks on climbs and descents. Bring a friend or a group, it's a nice ride. Glad I made the drive across the river from Omaha. Well worth it and I will be going back again. Better than Jewel in my opinion. Here is the address in case you would like to GPS it: 19962 Monument Rd. Council Bluffs, IA 51503. Remember (prettyvoise1) doesn't like you riding on their property, tear... Stay south of the monument and you'll be fine.

Review: The map that is posted for this trail is wrong so don't use it. It shows the old trail that is CLOSED BECAUSE IT IS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY! Please remove this map from your website!

Review: This was my first time here and I have to say it was really confusing on where to start but after I found the trail I was really surprised!!! The chutes at the beginning is a blast!! It's kind of short but well worth the time. It's fast it's fun and well maintained.

Review: The north trail along the bluff, as well as the majority of the north trail, is private property and is closed. Please respect posted Trail Closed and Private Property signage.

Similar Trail: Use the newly updated trail which begins on the southeast side of the Monument parking lot.

Review: Seems the trail head has moved as Most of the Trail has been deemed Private Property. The new entry point is to the left of the entrance to the Monument. It's different than it was and most of the route has been redone...Since I usually start from the top of the trail I was a bit confused on the new "correct" route. I'll have to follow some other people next time.

Review: Located in the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River this trail offers long downhill sections and equally long climbs to test riders of all abilities. The trail kicks off at the top of the bluff with a downhill run through deep gullies and bermed turns that will eventually end at the very bottom of the bluffs. A series of switchback climbs and downhill stretches gradually take you back to the top. The last climb to the top is a 200 yard gut buster known as Mount Never-rest!

Review: The trail starts just to the south of the restrooms. The trail starts with a couple good downhills until you get to the bottom. While still above the lower tree line you will get to a point where you can go straight or take a hard left and go down. You want to take the hard left. I believe that if you go straight that is where the old hiking trail was. Just head down to the lower area and follow the trail (red arrows on white boards). There are lots of logs and low trees. There are some really good climbs along the trail. There are 3 or 4 areas where you can exit the trail if you need to get out. There are very steep exits more for hiking then biking.
