Mountain Biking - Dolly Sods North
Description
Dolly Sods North includes 22 miles of trails within about 6,000 acres. This area, north of the wilderness, is high-elevation plateau, wind-swept and boggy. Some of the trails are old ATV trials while some are singletrack. Difficulty ranges from intermediate to advanced and technical (some sections unrideable). This area gets extremely wet during the spring and after rain and creates unrideable terrain .Trail Map (pdf)
