The riding in Lefthand is generally harder than other open space trails, you should expect steep climbs and steeper descents. The best approach to this area is pre-ride, re-ride, free-ride, and remember that you are in a wilderness setting. One of the biggest threats to mountain bike access at Lefthand is accidents which require involved search and rescue efforts.

 

The etiquette of riding this trail network is to climb the double-track roads and descend the single track, which can be confusing for first-time users, but will provide a more enjoyable and safer experience for all.  

Say hello, be kind, and enjoy the ride!
