Lower Pratt single track a fun and extremely technical trail full of rock gardens all over the place. You do not want to be caught dead on this trail with a hard tail. This is a good trail for the end of a ride because it puts you out at a parking lot at the end. You can either start from the very top of the single track for an added bit of riding or the top of foothill road.

Access Info

Can get dropped off at the top of foothill rd or park at the bottom of the trail head with a little hike a bike and climb.
