Lower Dan's Trail Mountain Biking

There isn't good parking here so try to find a spot along the side of the road and be respectful of the properties in the area. It's not illegal to park here, just be polite.

Take a right and head down the road a little ways to the next junction.

Head left and and then another left shortly after to start descending from Chip Ross Park towards Dans trail.

Start heading up Dan's trail by crossing the road and continuing on the trail on the other side.

Here you have a choice. If you continue up Dan's Trail you'll be heading towards the top of Dimple Hill. I have another guide for that route called "Dimple Hill with Horse Trail Return". If you choose to head up that way for a longer ride please refer to that guide. For this short ride we are going to head up the wider forest service road straight ahead. This will cut the elevation gain in half and put you on the Horse Trail halfway down from Dimple Hill.

At this point take a right and head into the woods for a fun descent down the lower half of Horse Trail. Watch your speed at the end as the final bit of single track through the open field is rutted.

When you hit the road from the trail take a right and follow the road up and around a corner to start climbing a hill.

This is the last hill climb of the ride. When you get to the top its all down hill back to the car. One last push! Follow the road and gps track to POI#2 which will put you back on the trail you came in on and back to your vehicle.
