Sovereign Singletrack
The Sovereign Singletrack combines dirt, open rock, ledges, climbs, and views. It's great fun, but we don't recommend it for beginners. Consider this an advanced or strong-intermediate trail, moderately strenuous. Riding options include two loops, and shorter versions that bypass the northern singletrack section. We recommend the Lariat Loop from the Willow Springs Road trailhead.  See our full web page for additional riding options.
