TRAIL BETA
Discover flowy, easier trails close to town, or try to master the technical climb of Hard Time. Since the Eagle Wing Trailhead isn’t very large, we recommend cyclists riding from town park at/near Centennial Park, and ride the Riverwalk Trail to connect to the system.
Mutton Bustin’ - A great trail for kids, you might even consider a downhill option by getting dropped off at the Ecology Park, to follow Re-Cycle and Mutton Bustin’ back to town.
Hard Time - Enjoy a technical and steep climb/descent with great views all around. Further south, the trail mellows a bit as it winds through the landscape.
The Great Escape - This trail takes you to the way back of the system, where you’ll enjoy sweet vistas of Grape Creek Canyon to the north and west. Add Watchtower, the newest addition, to your ride for incredible views and some fun terrain.
Smooth Criminal - This intermediate / advanced trail is great for learning, practicing, and going "big" on some fun jumps. The route is a loop when combined with Gloria's Groove and Schepp Ridge. PLEASE be careful on this trail. This is for mountain bikes only and is ONLY for downhill travel. DO NOT turn around and ride back up.
