Singletrack, Fast Fireroads, Technical Rock Gardens, Steep Powerlines, etc.. Essentially anything you could dream of. See you out there!
From I-99 exit Frankstown Road in Altoona, Exit onto Frankstown Road headed toward the Mountain(Depends on direction coming from on I-99). Right before you crest the mountain, you will see an entrance to Sylvan East Neighboorhood on the left, take this. If you get to a flashing light you went too far. After turning left into the neighboorhood Follow the main street until you come to the first stop sign. Continue Straight through neighboorhood, through several stop signs. Continue around bend to the right. You will now see a dirt "Jeep Trail" . Park here, and follow this trail. As you progress about 1.5-2 Miles you will have HUNDREDS of trail choices, ranging from singletrack to fast fireroads, to technical rock gardens. Pick your route! If anyone stops you along your ride just tell them you are friends with Dave Walls.. These trails will reach the Antenna's above the 17th street exit and include all new construction of shopping center on I-99 if you choose the lowe
Summary: I would ride this trial more, if I got to Altoona more. Definitely a fun network of trails. You could spend alot of time on these trails and not always on purpose. I have gotten lost more than once. All sorts of different riding, from technical to...well...not technical. Plenty of senic views of woodlands and WILDLIFE. I would recomend bringing a spare tube (or five).
So you know what to do: Put some excitement between your legs and do it in the woods with your favorite bike.
