Description
Enter Sidewinder from either the end of Powerline Trail to the North or from a short connector off the paved Moore Park loop. Access from the pavement is easily found as you start to come down the loop on the east side of the soccer fields and across the street from the disc golf course. Be prepared for your hip flexors to get a major workout on Sidewinder as you push through the rolling terrain, rock features and numerous twists and turns as the trail snakes its way along the hillside. This trail is not for beginners and was meant to be a challenge, so please stay on the designated trail and do not disturb any rock features.
