Your endurance is sure to be tested on Aynes Loop. It’s a long, intermediate trail that is a more aerobic and technically challenging ride.

If your starting from North Tower Loop, you will begin the tail with a long, tough climb featuring several switchbacks and lots of tree roots.

Before you start, stop at the historic Green Valley Shelter as the base of the climb for a quick bread or moment of relaxation.

As you continue on the trail, you’ll ride by a pond and cross shallow creek beds.

You can also start this trail either at the southern end of Green Valley Trail, the northern end of Hesitation Point Trial or Bobcat Bowl via the Aynes Connector.
