Need to Know

Use Sun Up trail to get to the top of the Sol Train trails. The Sol Train trails are preferred downhill.

Description

Sol Train East (and West) was built to be a flow style trail, mountain bike optimized for maximum playfulness and fun, with lots of twists, turns, jumps, and berms. It has the feel of a long, linear pump track. Approximately a mile in length, with a fairly consistent 6% average downhill grade, beginning at the top of the Sun Up trail (and end of Gutz trail).

While built for downhill fun, please remember it's bi-directional, so be on the lookout and be courteous if you encounter any uphill users. Sol Train East drops you down to the intersection of Little Rainbow, Dead Bird, and Race Track.

Also try Sol Train West, which starts in the same spot at the top of Sun Up.

This trail is rated blue/black because of the features built into the trail, but the two largest features (step-down jumps) are optional lines.

The Sol Train trails were designed and built by Singletrack Trails Inc. for Salida Mountain Trails.
