Summary:
Go up the fireroad all the way to where it comes to a "Y". Turn left and keep climbing, you'll have a few trails and one fireroad on your right as you go up, keep left at all points. At about 5 or so miles, you will come to a cul-de-sac. The trailhead for the #1 is around to the right of the cul-de-sac. Hike up the bank (5 feet) and you are on the #1. The first part of the trail takes you through a fairly steep creek crossing (be careful) and through some tight single-track until you begin a gradual climb that is very technical. You will soon come to "the rock" (you'll know it when you see it) just put your head down and hammer away, it's totally rideable. After the rock, you will begin a series of switchbacks and the trail basically descends from there. Be cautious, this trail has bitten several and it will bite you too if you aren't careful. After descending through several of these switchbacks, you'll see a trail intersection on the left. This is the Church trail and is where the reviewer above comes in. Continue right and now for some real serious fun. The last two switch-backs are the most treacherous parts of this trail. Keep loose and have fun. I've ridden this trail day, night, rainy, and dry and it's a blast, just pay attention to the trail and you'll be ok. When you get to the bottom, you'll come out on Dry Creek rd. If you parked on top, turn right and ride up (1 mile).If you parked at the bottom, turn left and do likewise. There are plenty of other options too. Search the reviews for the other recommended trails.

Recommended Route:
There's a little more to this trail than what's noted above. Park at the top of the mountain (across from the ATV parking area) and you have several options to get to the #1 trailhead. I'll concentrate on the route up from the fireroad mentioned above. Go right from the parking area down the pavement to the fireroad (about 1.5 miles) There is a parking area there too so you could drive down and start your ride from there. Now the fun begins.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Straight Branch, The Chute, The Black Widow, The Church Trail, Rustic Ridge, and Mud Hollow.
