• 100 ★ 4.0 • 3,732 ft • 169 ft • 648 •
Instead of heading straight up Blodgett Hill, try this instead. The Bypass takes you on a nice, windy, somewhat technical singletrack offshoot climb that is longer and more fun.
• 85 ★ 4.0 • 1 mile • 70 ft • 619 •
is one of the more fun trails at Horse Hill. As the name implies, it's a twisty run over roling terrain, though west to east is definitely the DH direction. As a climb, is more difficult, though not incredibly so. There are a few minor...

Outer Ledges trail piggybacks off of Ledges trail, and is a really fun, twisty piece of trail with some technical rocks and fun switchbacks. While not very long, the trail can be challenging depending on skill level, and if you choose...
• 90 ★ 4.5 • 1 mile • 37 ft • 542 •
Like most of the trails out at Grater, is full of twists and turns. Definitely one of the easiest trails out here though, with not much as far as climbs or technical features.
• 90 ★ 4.3 • 1,730 ft • 29 ft • 497 •
Ledges trail is also sometimes called Inner Ledges trail, due to the fact that Outer Ledges trail piggybacks off of it. Definitely a fun, short little DH with one steeper rocky section that could be intimidating, depending on skill...

Yet another fun, twisty trail out at Grater! Capped at both ends with windy singletrack through a tight brushy forest with a lot of punchy ups and downs, and a good amount of tech. The middle of the trail opens up to wider switchbacks...
• 90 ★ 5.0 • 1,325 ft • 5 ft • 469 •
Popular black diamond difficulty singletrack. This mountain bike primary trail can be used downhill primary. On average it takes 1 minutes to complete this trail.
