The Ice House and Mineral Hills trails are full of rocks, small drops, hills, double track, and single track. There are many trails in this area that are easy to find. There are also a lot more trails out on the Ice House and Mineral Hills that I did not put on the map because I have never biked them and I don't know where they go. Look for map updates soon to come.
