Love where you live - favorite specific trails Picture Thread

We need a thread where everyone can show off some of their favorite specific trails. Give us the goods, we insist.

I'll start off with the Picketpost section of the Arizona Trail. The AZT is a little slice of heaven, and this is probably my favorite section (that I've ridden so far).

Ford Canyon Trail, White Tanks, Waddell AZ. Only a few minutes from my house and out of the city. But I can ride up here and just enjoy the silence.

Steven, that looks really great! I'm heading that way for a few days after the Fruita Fat Bike Fest in May.

So here's my home place, looking down the trail to our house, Heavenly center, Jobs Peak left, TRT Flume right. Behind me It's BLM for miles.

The fencing and rebar livestock guard is to keep the wild horses out .. we got thirty head that wander through.

Austin, TX, Barton Creek Greenbelt. This spot is only about 5 miles from the center of downtown, looking SE.

I camped there once in May a few years ago and we hiked that trail, super cool spot.

The naughty stuff is better but these are the "must ride" loops if you've not been before imo.

I just missed being able to rent a bike and Ride Ben Nevis in Scotland when we went in 2007, we were there like a week or two after the mountain closed for the season in September. Your riding areas look amazing!

My local trail, Horry County Bike Run Park, aka “The Hulk” in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

A really fast and fun 7 mile loop. Lots of sand and roots, but a surprising amount of short, steep climbs. It’s tons of fun.

Favorite trail as far as riding the trail or scenery? I find I rarely want to stop on the fun, challenging sections of my trails so most of my photos are of mellow sections.

But I'm feeling sunburned scrolling through this thread so far, need some shade.

We're pretty lucky. There isn't much elevation but there's a lot of variety. I would love to ride more "big mountain" stuff though.

Scotland is fantastic. It's barren and brutal one moment and then stunningly beautiful and serene the next. The Lake District and Wales are the other two major mtb havens here.

Rough and challenging with plenty of options for longer or shorter rides. Beautiful in Autumn. Lots of scenic, wild rivers and brooks.
