These trails are brand new. Three mile peddle up a paved road and then five miles of flow single track.
Each trail has its own character:
Highballer - rooty, hand - built
Lower Highballer - large, sweeping berms, machine built
Springboard - very flowy pump track trail
Dutchman and Bailout - more traditional single track.
These trails are amazing. There is nothing like it along the I-5 corridor. The best part? When I was there in Sept 2014, new trails were under construction.
This system is not quite on the radar yet. When word gets out, people will flock to Alsea.
Extra bonus - campground across the street.
Thanks to Team Dirt, the BLM, and IMBA for this gem.
