The trail parallels a burbling brook, where happy hikers and their pooches soak their feet in the icy cold creek. The hot summer air cools dramatically as you ride through the shaded, secluded canyon, and its always fun to meet new riders along this route.

We will spend the afternoon enjoying the festival, full of a broad spectrum of activities and entertainment. NOTE: due to local circumstances, our anticipated date for the Pride events sometimes changes after we announce this tour.
