Summary:
This trail is what is left for biking in an area that once had great riding before the adjoining area was designated as a Wilderness Area in 2002.

This is a fun hot day ride as it's in the bottom of a canyon and you will get wet. The trail is easy single track with only a little bit of challenge at the stream crossings.

Unfortunately, this area has become a riding area with few options. The only real management change associated with the Wilderness designation was eliminating mountain bikes--and this was an area that few people rode anyway.

Recommended Route:
Out and back. When the trail ends, keep riding on the gravel road up through Camp Remington for some extra distance in a cool, dark canyon. If you get to the Needles Highway, the Centennial Trail continues south for some good riding. Keep out of the Wilderness--it is well signed.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Centennial trail--especially in northern Custer State Park.

Grace Coolidge trail in Custer State Park.

Storm Mountain near Rockerville.

Mickelson Trail.
