This is a longer ride and a bit more challenging, which is why it's rated as HARD. Unless you're in phenomenal shape, this is a taxing ride. Start at the end of Northern Ave, where there is plenty of parking. The ride takes you through some of the most picturesque parts of the park with minimal climbing. If you're into fast, flowy trails, this one's for you. It's mostly wide open trail with chunky sections sprinkled in to keep things interesting.
