Running down the Powerline

Running down the Powerline

DESCRIPTION

The hills on this one will get your attention but the views from the powerline are beautiful. Mostly hard-pack dirt or sandy trails, we have a variety of choices on this one. A 7-mile loop down the powerline, along Trout Creek, then back up the hill can be full of wildflowers in the spring and early summer. you dog will love the opportunity to swim.

A 6-mile out-and-back along the powerline towards Heavenly crosses Cold Creek then opens up in a few places with views of the lake. This is a very popular bike trail.
