Description
I'd rate this a "blue square" trail. It's your standard multi-use trail: not a downhill trail,

but more technical than a groomed cross-country race course. That being said, I've seen

it ridden on everything from hardtails to 6" travel all-mountain rigs. There's quite a bit of

climbing in the first half of the trail, but paying this price up front buys you a back half full

of flowy singletrack.



Keep an eye out for the Prairie Link junction just before the 2-mile mark. There will be a

sign here with the trail forking to the right, or continuing on. You'll want to take the fork

to the right. Continuing ahead will take you on a much longer loop - a trail called

Powderface Trail.



At roughly the 3.5-mile mark, you'll encounter another similar junction. Take

the trail to the right again, as this will loop you back to the parking area.



The other thing to watch for is the warning sign towards the end of the trail, after the

last big climb along the cliff face. The sign warns you off a very technical drop-off ahead.

Less experienced riders will probably want to dismount and walk this section.



The last thing to note is that the trail doesn't dump you out exactly at the parking lot

where you started - it will dump you onto the Hwy a couple hundred meters East of the

parking lot. Just take a right when you hit the hwy and you'll see the parking lot ahead

of you.



Trail conditions are generally dry, with a couple of muddy spots.
