Please avoid using this trail during the spring thaw season as it gets very muddy.

Description

Iron Gate is generally ridden as a downhill trail, which is the direction it is mapped here. It's a relatively smooth and swooping singletrack dirt descent with a few exposed roots and tight turns. Features include berms, rollers, and a few small jumps.

There's a split halfway for the Concrete Block Trail going left which starts with a wooden drop. This provides great access to Firelane Trail and a more extended ride on the lower portion of Roller Coaster.

This trail is all about the flow and berms!  Always optimizing custom drainage techniques, trained stewards prioritize sustainable trails for all.

Up, down, left, right, left, up, down, right. Keep your eyes at least 10 feet ahead at all times.

Southwest entrance to Homeless Camp trail is fairly flowy although a bit off-camber.

Another few berms, decreasing in radius as it gets nearer to a busy multi-user trail and parking lot. You'll want to slow down a bit, so plan ahead.
