A mere three minute drive from downtown, mountain bikers will be excited for Fire Mountain Trails. Blinds, tables, and rock gardens make this a challenging mountain biking experience. The trails rise and fall in elevation right along with the mountainous terrain. There is great potential for blistering speed, and spectacular views of the landscape as well. The trails are not exclusively for bikers though, they are also open to hikers.
