Lebanon Trail Help

[dopey048]

I know where the beginner loop is. What I don't know is where the X or XX loops are. I know that one of them splits off to the left of the trail and the easy trail goes to the right.

What trail goes that way, I thought it was the XX loop but then where is the X loop? Does someone have pictures of the where the trails split?

When I go to Leb one lap takes me 4.3 miles by my computer. The trail overview says it has 8.5. That means I'm missing alot.

I'm hoping someone can clue me in to all that single track that I'm missing, plus those bridges I keep seeing pictures of.

When you come to the big clearing just after the rock garden in the intermediate loop, the X loop entrance is the log pile you see to the left.
The XX _exit_ is also right there.
To get to the XX entrance, ride the X loop, after the bridge and rock garden there will be a few switchback turns, then you'll come to a spot with a large log pile on the left side of the trail, that's the entrance to the XX.
The exit of the XX puts you right back at the X entrance or the continuation of the intermediate loop.

Gabe,

Are you coming out riding with me and Dan today? We'll be sure to point you in the right direction.

We are hoping to get some good maps of Lebanon from the county to update our trail review section and make it clear where each trail is.

We've thought about putting up some signs as well, if even temporary ones.. just to get people used to the semi-official trail names.

Then when we say "watch out for the rocks on the upper-bypass" everyone will know what we are talking about ;)

Yeah, my first couple of times I couldn't find the X loop which connects to the XX. The best advice I could give you is do what I did. At every ski path crossing look left, I believe it's the 2nd or third. Someone told me to do that and sure enough, there were people standing around catching their breath and I rode up to them and there it was 50 yards to the left of one of the crossings.

Once we do the last remaining re-routes this year it will be even more clear. We'll take another look at our signs as well to be sure things are clear for everyone.
