Dragon's Back is the sister trail to the popular Dragon's Tooth trail. This 11 mile single-track loop trail is very technical and often requires some hiking with your bike. For all the effort, this trail offers big rewards. The rocky climbs and descents make for a very exciting ride. Be prepared for an adventure!
