Big Loop Trail (9.5 miles) in Copper Breaks State Park. Start and Finish by the Kiowa camping area (first left after entering the park). Starts on road for ½ mile with a steep, paved climb and then onto trail. Course has wide variety of terrain to suit all types of riders: technical expert singletrack to flat fire roads and everything in between. Throw in a couple portages, a couple of scary descents, a water crossing, some tough climbs, and a sprint on the road to the finish, and you have it!! This is a West Texas Course, so be prepared. There could be cactus, mesquite thorns, and grass burrs in some areas, so slime and/or tire liners are recommended. It can be HOT in summer, so carry plenty of fluids.
This trail is fun but you are exposed the entire time. Take/drink lots of water, especially in the summer months. This trail is mostly flat.
