The longest trail in the mountain bike network and with nearly 1000 feet of elevation gain, the Hard Rock Trail follows the gated, mostly paved 14-7-25 road along Fall Creek, climbing to a ridgetop junction with the gravel Billy Buster Trail. Combine it with the Coyote Canyon/Bailout and Steller Jay trails to return to the trailhead, or take the Switchback trail to the 14-6-9 road and return along the South Fork highway. For the longest possible loop, follow the Hard Rock and Billy Buster trails to the 14-6-9 road, then continue along the Bike Connector 2 route to the South Fork Mile Trail. Follow the South Fork Mile to the second bridge at the recreation area, then return along the South Fork highway and 14-7-25 road to your starting point.
