1.8 miles after leaving West Bandy Creek Road the trail
splits offering riders the choice of a novice or advanced section.
If you are not an advanced rider continue straight to Hwy
297, turn right and ride single file near the white line. Look for the
marker to turn right back onto the single track.
The advanced ride turns right coming immediately to a
sandstone ledge with a steep drop. Beyond this the trail features numerous
steep climbs and drops with some sharp turns and log crossings.
Once the two sections rejoin either continue west along
Hwy 297 and take the West Bandy Trail (see below) or remain on the Collier
Ridge Trail for another 2.3 miles back to the West Bandy Creek Road. Turn
right and return to the Visitor Center.
