Since I've found plenty of new places to ride using this forum, I thought I would return the favor with a trail that I haven't seen on here yet.

Richard's Hollow is single track located off Left Hand Fork which is accessible from Blacksmith Canyon a few miles before you get to Hardware Ranch. Dry Canyon trail is near Logan Peak off a jeep road. You can see on the map below the route I took.

I guess it's not for beginners because I passed two guys on brand new KTM 300 XC-Ws who said it got to gnarly for them.:roll: There's a few tech spots, but i think it is mostly flowy and fun.

The forest service has been doing some work on the trails have smoothed out some of the equine leg breakers and moved the trail in some places, (I assume for erosion control) so the trail is soft right now in a few places.

NICE! I'm jealous of the trails you guys get to ride. Good to see someone else on a smoker! Great vid.
