Sixth Sense has a little of everything and provides challenge to all skill levels of riders. It has sections that are moderately rocky and technical as well as some smooth flowy bits. It was designed and built by Evergreen Southwest for the MTB community, but it should be noted that this is a two-way multi-user trail. While it can be ridden at high speed, you need to keep your eyes open for the occasional hiker or horse. On busy days, when the lot is full, it’s also discouraged to pedal up the trail.

Access Info

Park at the main lot and then either climb up Murphy's grade or the 1070 road. It can also be shuttled descending Ross's grade from the Upper Thrillium parking lot.

Disclaimer

CLEAR CUT wiped out the middle 1/3 of this trail. It's been reopened, but it is rough going.
