This is the most common way to ride Thunder Mountain. There is a small percentage of people that like to ride it as an out-n-back, which includes some good cardio and a couple hike-a-bike sections. This loop takes you up the scenic canyon on a paved bike path until you get to the Coyote Hollow Road. Ride up the dirt road to the top of the trail and then let her rip.
