Recommended for beginner riders with basic mountain bike skills. Typically flowing, open trails on firm terrain with gentle gradients. Surface may be uneven, loose or muddy at times. Riders may encounter small rollable obstacles and technical trail features.
Down Dale connects riders from the trail head on the north side of the Pump Hill trails to the trail head at the top of the south side. It is downhill and machine built with a few rollers and pumps, one of the flowiest trails in the park. The trail ends at Pump Hill Road, so use caution when exiting and crossing the road.
Locals Tip: Use Down Dale to connect your circuit from Pumphill Uphill to the southern side trails, such as Nearly Gnarly. Also a fun little run if you find yourself with some time to burn while others are still climbing. Use Mark Up to return to the top fire trail and trailhead.Â
