26

Trail Overview

Trail 26 is a more challenging 2.2-mile descent from south to north, dropping nearly 1,000 feet in elevation through lush forest lined with rhododendron and tall, slender trees. The trail begins moderately but quickly transitions into a steep and rocky downhill, full of large, loose, football-sized rocks that demand careful control and braking, especially for dirt bikes. The path winds gradually down the mountainside, with uneven corners, loose dirt, and passing several intersections and one sizable bedrock outcropping that can easily be ridden over or around. Traction is key in steeper sections, making it a more technical ride. The trail levels out and smooths out near the bottom, ending before a gate and at a sharp left turn onto Trail 526. This trail must be ridden as an out-and-back, so be prepared to go back up what you go down.
