Trail Overview

Nelson's Trail is extremely difficult. The trail is very rocky and steep, with plenty of loose gravel that makes the climbs especially challenging. If you’re looking for a hard single-track dirt bike trail, this is the kind of trail you’ve been dreaming of. Starting from the east side, the climb up was very challenging. Once you reach the top, there aren't really any views to enjoy; you begin descending the other side. The technical terrain and steep, rocky sections are what make this trail such a demanding ride.
