Observatory Trail
This beautiful trail weaves through a stand of second growth forest consisting of redwoods and douglas fir in the Jackson State Demonstration forest located on the Mendocino Coast near Fort Bragg, California.
Observatory trail is 2.2 miles in length, with two climbs totaling 500’ of elevation gain from bottom to top. Within the body of the trail are groupings of sweeping turns that give the trail a playful nature while allowing for elevation gain and loss. A unique trail that is approachable for riders of all skill levels.
