Tie 3-5

Tie 3-5 is a 1.9-mile-long dirt bike trail that connects Loop 3 to Loop 2. The route is smooth and easy, with a dry, dusty surface and a comfortable singletrack width that doesn’t feel too narrow or too wide. Trees are spaced out enough to provide good visibility, and the trail alternates between fast straight sections and curvier, flowy stretches winding through the forest. The banked corners are fun, and while most logs along the path have been cut, some remain angled along the trail that you need to watch out for. The surface is silty in places, but there are no real obstacles to navigate. The trail is well marked and includes a crossing across Sugar Pine Road, with a stop sign posted to alert riders to the road hazard. From south to north, the trail mostly climbs gradually, making for a steady but mild ascent.
