Trail Overview
This is a super fun dirt road that winds right through the trees, giving you a killer mix of shaded forest riding and some awesome, peeking views of Silverwood Lake down below. It's a great, scenic cruise, but you definitely want to keep your eyes on the dirt--there are some deep ruts cut into the road that'll catch you off guard if you're spending too much time looking at the water.

Difficulty
The difficulty is low, but you'll want to stay sharp and pick your lines through the deeper ruts.
