Description

Roughly 20 miles of singletrack loops. Well maintained without being overly invasive. On church owned property. Church has generously offered use of facilities for restroom/water. Waiver required to ride. Available at kiosk at trailhead or www.dorba2.com. Great views and boasts the highest elevation in Dallas.<br />

<br />
Orange is a nice beginner loop winding through the trees.<br />
<br />
White is the central loop that connects all the other loops. There are some very fast runs, moderately technical areas, and some serious climbs.<br />
<br />
Blue is a short fast winding run down the hill, then the climb back up the main drive to the trailhead.<br />
<br />
Yellow is the most technical loop with some dips connected by switchbacks.<br />
<br />
Green is a nice easy loop with some mild dips and minimal climbing.<br />
<br />
Red is for those who like to climb. Lots of climbing and lots of switchback climbs.<br />
<br />
Near the trail head there is a downhill area for experts only. There is a ramp to a platform giving you what looks like a 7 or 8 foot drop into the trail. I haven't ridden this (yet).<br />
<br />
There are some dirt jumps for BMXers.<br />
<br />
They have also stacked some huge rocks for a trials area. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Something for everyone here. It's up to you how far you want to push yourself any given day.
