Killer hills with tough switchbacks, great single track, an aerobic killer with sweet single track and beautiful terrain. One bomber downhill, though it's pretty short. Only 3.5 miles, but oh-so-sweet.

Summary:
This trail is one of IOWA's best. Top 3 in my opinion way better than sugarbottom. Lots of switchbacks, and hilly enough to give you a good workout. A couple of good races are held here each year, including the states finest 24hour race. Yea it costs $2 or $3 but i would pay a couple of bucks to ride somewhere descent in this state. I gave it a 4 relative to the area it is located. if it was in colorado it would be a 2.5, but for Iowa it rocks!!!!!!! any one who says differently please tell me where you ride in Iowa that is so much better, seriously where???????????

Recommended Route:
Take Highway 30 west of Boone. Til you see the sign. Pull in pay a couple of bucks then take of. the trail head starts at the bottom just past the little office.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Sugar bottom

The trail has been changed up some. I enjoyed it and will return to bike it again. It's the best Mountain biking I've found in the area.

Summary:
You are all hacks. This is a great technical mountain biking trail considering you're in central Iowa. Go ride it clean and then come back and talk, pansies. A hard pace should get you around the full loop in an hour, this is not that short of a trail, except for wussies who can't do it. Yeah it's $2, losers. This is a very intense and challening trail if you know what the He!! you're doing, and worth the drive in central Iowa. If you know how to bike, rather than whine. I rate it a 4, but should be a 5 relative to what is available in Iowa.

Recommended Route:
clockwise. The do the back loop counter clockwise, it's an adrenaline rush at speed.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Skunk river greenbelt north of ames.

Summary:
Don't come to this place expecting much. Very small and I wasn't to fond of the tow rope to get around to a few of the trails, but overall for the terrain that Iowa offers, they did the best they could with the hill available. This place is definately a great place for the beginner to come and learn how to ski, but for the intermediate to advanced skier you'll be bored to death.

Recommended Route:
The trail just to the left off of the lift.

um, whats up with the whole biking thing? Its friggin ski area, so don't diss this place becuase of whatever biking joke you people are trying to put on. Its a nice place to go ski when you can't travel very far (less than 1 hour away from where i live) Its not big and flashy, but its works. Its a fun time!
