River Loop mountain bike trailRiver Loop mountain bike trailThe River Loop is a 3.4-mile, intermediate/advanced
trail just below the Red & White that follows the Cartecay River
in sections. The single track is tight in spots, a few rocky descents
challenge even the bravest riders to walk, a sand trap swallows your
tires near the river, and an occasional windblown tree clutters the
trail. Once you conquer the steep downhill, you can cool down with a
dip in the Cartecay River or nap in the sun on the rocks. This is a
beautiful ride, and it can easily be coupled with a ride on the Red
& White or other trails in the area to make a full day of riding. |
