1. Deer Creek Canyon - No matter if your hiking or riding, the ascent up Plymouth Creek Trail to the higher elevation trails will get your blood pumping. The fist few miles are, at times, technical and steep. Once at the 'top', Red Mesa Loop & Plymouth Mtn Trail make for excellent loops before decending back down Plymouth Creek Trail to the parking area. The Scenic View Trail off of Plymouth Mtn Trail leads to a spectacular 360° viewpoint.

   Advanced rating due to the ascent.
   Ride rating: Advanced
   Ride distance: 6+ Elevation change:
