Mountain Biking Emerald Loop

*****   Add a review
#29 of 91 mountain bike trails in Kansas
#4,944 in the world

Once you get on the single track you will come to a fork . There is a trail map with your location. Go to the left to get on the Emerald Loop. It starts off smooth with some turns , some roots , a few light climbs and down hills. You will come upon some fun rocky technical spots, technical climbs and down hills. When you get to the back of the trail prepare to be blown away. This fantastic use of the rocky bluff makes for an insane roller coaster ride. Moderate technical rocky climbs and killer downhills. Then its back to winding through the bush with more of the roots, rocks and hills. You will come upon another trail map locator. Stay to the left for the full ride. When you get to the grassy opening there will be another trail map locator. Go straight to complete the loop or turn right to adventure onto the Rose Loop.
