Land OwnerAE+P
Sidetrax was envisioned and created to offer an intermediate level trail that finishes on the Canyon Creek Road side of the Prairie Mountain Shoulder.
It starts at the same location as 4th Horseman and intersects with all the black and double black trails on the east side of the shoulder.
There is signage at each intersection, so if riding for the first time ensure you are making the correct choice at each intersection.
Access Info
Climb the Prairie Mountain Shoulder access road and the Road to Gondor climb trail follow signage for 4th Horseman and look to the right side of the entrance for the start of Sidetrax.
