Google Earth Community: Mtn Biking - Moscow Mountain

All trails on Moscow Mountain are on private land and are closed to motorized use. Please respect the land and wishes of the landowners.

Paradise Point is a *must see* destination any time you're headed that direction. From 4-corners, most beginner riders can make it there, and it's a great place for a break, taking in the views, and maybe have a snack (please pick up your wrappers though!).

To get to the trailhead, go west from 4-corners on Foothill Rd. It will climb gradually for the first 1.5 miles. Continue slightly downhill for the next 1/2 mile until you're in much more of an opening. Look for a small trail off the left side near the end of the clearing. The trail has been opened up in to more of a road recently, but is still ridable...just not as technical as it used to be. The trail gains in elevation all the way to the top (~1/4 mile). When you reach the top, look for a large pile of rocks to your left. Have a seat on the rocks and enjoy the breathtaking view and cool breeze.

**Warning** A few people have spotted a cougar, or cougar tracks around Paradise Point. Be careful if you plan to bring young kids or animals to the location...keep them near you and don't let them wander off on their own.

If you know your way around, the path that continues to the west will eventually get you over to Headwaters...but if you don't know the way, you'll probably get lost trying it on your own. Otherwise, head back the way you came up, and be sure to hit the Radio Towers, North Contour, and the Upper and Lower Tusks on your way back to 4-corners.
