Description: Rockwoods Range has a single trail named Fox Run. At this time the trail is mostly a wide "track and a half" lane along the ridgetop with several steep rocky plunges in and out of the valleys. Although all of the trail is rideable, these rough descents and climbs will challenge even experienced riders. Still, the trail is worth exploring and can be spectacularly beautiful in the fall. GORC is currently working with MDC to explore the possibility of some reroutes or new trails.
