Fenceline / Missing Link Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a great singletrack alternative to the Bommer Ridge Trail if you are looking for a little more excitement. You can follow this all the way west to the Red Trail if you like.

Tip by

12.8 km

Being that these trails are essentially dirt roads in a very dry environment, when it rains, they can get washed out and washboarded. Not an issue for running, but it can make the trails a little more technical.
