“A great way to climb or descend on the PRT, this section has a little more technical difficulty. ”

Description

The western portion of the PRT is slightly more technical than PRT East. The top mile is pretty new with a great mix of speed and technical hops & rocks. Along the way, be on the lookout for cutoff trails that provide loop/bailout options to PRT East.

To ride a full loop, check out the Peterson Ridge Trail Outer Loop.

Check out this map for a complete overview of the trail system.
