Monte Bello Preserve
Approximate Total Miles

Come ride the trails with Docent Naturalists Steve Crawford, An Scharlaken, and Roger Wigenstam to learn how tectonic forces have shaped the landscapes and soils which in turn influence the plants and animals who live in this habitat. You’ll ride the White Oak, Canyon, and Bella Vista trails, among others, as well as visit and learn about the sag pond. This is an advanced ride designed for nature enthusiasts who are experienced mountain bike riders. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after May 25 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close June 6 at 2:00 p.m.
