Elfin Forest has some great mountain biking. The entire network of trails may only be 15 miles or so, but 6 miles here feels like 10. To ride here you have to take "The Way Up Trail," which is also the way down. Can you clean it? ~600 ft in 1 mile...This route takes you to the Hodges Overlook trail skipping most of Equine. Overlook is one of the cleaner portions of Elfin, which is quite rocky and technical, but fun with lines (most of the time). Parking is FREE! and there are port-o-johns. Gates close at 7:30.
