Scandinavian Trail
The Scandinavian Trail offers a relatively easy ride, perfect for those seeking a smooth and enjoyable mountain biking experience. This scenic trail runs about 300 feet into the forest, paralleling the Willow Creek Road and providing a peaceful ride beneath the trees. From the north end, riders can connect to either the Templar Trail or the Stopwatch Trail to extend their adventure further down the canyon. With its gentle terrain and convenient connections, the Scandinavian Trail is a great option for both beginners and those looking to link multiple trails together.
