Need to Know

The Eagles Nest Parking Lot is quite a large lot with a toilet. In summer there is also a camp host that is stationed beside the lot.

Description

Smooth flowy singletrack typical of Thompson Park, connects Graham Canyon Trail with the Eagles Nest Parking Lot. Is a less steep alternative to Graham Canyon, to travel up or down from the Milwaukee Road. There is a short steep section in the middle, but nothing technically challenging.
