Excerpts

The Forest Service brochure calls tis "Horse Heaven Loop," but the ride I took on a quiet weekday morning in the absence of horses, hikers, and bikers was mountain bike heaven for me. This 8-mile loop utilizes single-track, double-track, and Forest Service roads that are part of the Highlands Horse Trail. Except for rank novices, most mountain bikers can handle the mileage and terrain of this trail. The 2.5-mile climb will be the most difficult part for most. When the going gets tough, don¿ be reluctant to stop and admire the outstanding views of neighboring peaks and ridges. The 3-mile double-track decent will leave you grinning for weeks.
