Horse Gulch Trail System
Ben’s Down N Out Trail
Ben’s Down n’ Out Trail is a 0.46-mile difficult connector trail between Raider Ridge (between Extended Ridge and Hyper Extended Ridge) and Horse Gulch Road.
In July 2020, the local trail group rebuilt the trail and renamed it “Ben’s Down N Out” in honor of professional cyclist Ben Sonntag, who would have turned 40 on July 30, 2020.
