Frequently Asked Questions

  • Probably easiest to ride into the park, or walk up from the Ranger Zone. The new parking lot includes a loading/drop-off area, is ADA accessible, and has bathroom access.

  • Enduro stages are spread throughout the park, with short, lap-able courses that give spectators multiple chances to see riders.

    The easiest way to watch is by riding or walking between stages and cheering riders on as they pass.

    Please stay outside the course tape at all times and be aware of oncoming riders to help keep everyone safe.

  • Working on it. There will be timing screens at the course to know rankings.
