Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Coast down a (technical, in some places) singletrack along the side of a hill sloping gently down to the ocean against wide-open coastal views. Zane Gray Cutoff connects to Wilder Ridge Loop.

Enchanted Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Enchanted Loop has a fun mix of downhill sections and uphill parts. The loop can be ridden in both directions and is fun!
