MOUNTAIN BIKING: Ester Dome Singletrack System

← AK CHENA RIVER FAIRBANKS AK Single Tracks →

Description

In my opinion, this is some of the sweetest and cleanest singletrack between the Kenai Penninsula and interior Alaska. It comprises three, bi-directional loops, two of which (outer and inner), connect to form a rough figure eight, totaling approximately 11 miles of windy, superbly banked switchbacks traversing the birch-laden hillside. In addition, the so- called Technical Trail adds another mile of tight, technically challenging loop of rooty - cursed switchbacks which will test your balance, timing and confidence. Sehr Jah! Though seemingly lacking in mileage, this system will keep you intrigued for as long as you can hold out.

Directions

Take Sheep Creek Road to Ester Dome Road (located at the same turnoff as Goldstream Sports), and climb about two miles up the road. On the left is a small but distinct parking area with room for about 6 - 8 vehicles; the trailhead is at the uphill side of this parking area.
