Description
This trail joins the top of Mitchell Creek Trail with the top of the Water Tower Road. It is a tight and twisty trail that utilizes a series of old and overgrown forestry roads. It's one of the local favorite loops because it gives users a line across the top of the hills and can be accessed by climbing Water Tower Road, Mitchell Trail, Beaver Creek Trail, and Horseshoe Canyon Trail. This trail can be used in conjunction with Lower Mystery Trail as a turn around loop if you are coming from Mitchell Trail and wish to go back that way. Or if you are climbing up, you can use Lower Mystery to avoid the last ugly climb. If you do take the last climb on Mystery Trail, it rewards you with a fun, rolling trail.
