Trail Overview

This route takes you on the Sleeping Child Trail to the top of Bald Top Mountain. The Bald Top ascent portion of the route is in decent condition, with minor rutting, plenty of loose rocks, and features incredible scenery. Sleeping Child Trail, on the other hand, is considerably rougher. If you love huge rocks sticking out and coming out of nowhere from tall grass, then this is your trail. It follows along the river, so it has a lot of exposure and off-camber spots. The Sleeping Child portion of this route is challenging and sure to test the endurance of even experienced riders.

Difficulty

There aren't any huge obstacles that are extremely difficult to get the bike over, but the trail itself is tough on the body. It is tedious with miles and miles of rock gardens.

Access Description

Finding the start of Sleeping Child can be a bit tricky. Although the map indicates it begins near the parking lot, that's not accurate--you need to drive a short distance down the road to reach the true trailhead.
