Arnold Rim Trail

Set in the beautiful terrain of the Stanislaus National Forest there is a large variety of trails here built over the last couple decades plus dozens of miles of old Forest Service roads that have been closed too motorized traffic for several years now. Through a lot of planning and hard work in order to better organize this network of trails the locals have built the ART to serve as the main singletrack route through the area. The ART utilizes singletrack for most all of its 10 miles however there are a few short sections of FS road still in use, singletrack is continuously being built to reroute around these sections. Signage is adequate and also constantly being improved upon, delineators Forest Brown in color with an ART sticker and arrows mark the route. The route does takes you up and over the ‘Top of the World’ (see trail description) and actually uses some of the same trail. From the peak riders are treated to a view of the Sierra Crest to the East and all the way out to the Coastal Range towards the West on very clear days.
This terrain is far from flat so expect to climb quite a bit however the payoff is swoopy, fast singletrack through some amazingly beautiful forest. Occasionally the trail splits into a technical route with an easier ‘ride around’, these are marked with the typical Black Diamond vs. easy or intermediate ratings.
There are many other trails that either originate from or cross the ART, watch for these descriptions here in the future as these routes become defined and signed.
