Description: Perk Canyon is perfect for beginning riders, yet still big fun for the hardcore rider. The first few twists and turns are challenging, but the ride down is well worth the effort. Winding and climbing, this favorite of locals and tourists will enchant you. One minute you're in town and the next, you're deep in the forest. It climbs and jogs, crisscrosses a stream several times, twists and turns, and occasionally opens to beautiful meadows. Altitude change is only about 500 feet over the 3 mile each way leg, but it is worth it! Stop at the Smokey Bear ranger station for directions.

I rode this trail thanksgiving weekend. At 6000 ft., the trail was a great challenge. I am accustomed to riding at 1300ft. Unfortunately, my computer was broken and I couldn't track the mileage. I think after 3 miles, the locals turn around. The trail keeps going and gets very steep. I ended up carrying my bike to the top. Lot of work, but worth it. It was beautiful! The downhill was awesome. I'm looking forward to going back. Happy Holidays!

Just got off the trail. it is great!!! Tons of fun, easy climb but has it's moments for the more advanced rider. I will definitely make this a regular for a quick ride.
