Trail Overview

This section of the "Rock Candy Trail" takes you up an exposed face of Capitol Forest that was recently logged before bringing you back into the forest. Double track trail with tight switchbacks. Some steeper sections. Softball-sized rocks are scattered throughout the trail. When wet, the trail turns to slick red clay but dries out quickly and becomes dusty in the summer months. This trail connects the other 2 sections of the "Rock Candy Trail" and can be accessed by forest road if desired to run as separate sections. Be aware that the trail is 2 way, so watch for other riders. Trail is open from May 1st-November 30th for motorized use and is CLOSED the rest of the year.
