Sidewinder

This trail is accessed via the Swami Trail - North at Indian Spring Road. It is a good climbing trail because the incline stays moderate throughout the ascent. It switches back and forth as you climb, but the switching back usually comes in the form of smooth curves, which is nice for running and cycling. The trail ends at the crest of a Basalt Ridge and connects with the Backdoor Trail, where you can either drop back down to the trailhead or head up the hill for more adventures. This is a mixed use trail, so watch for traffic going both ways from a variety of travel-methods.
