Huntsville Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

Huntsville rides the Land Trust trails on Monte Sano's flanks — limestone bluff singletrack, old quarry benches and long contouring climbs right above town. The mountain drains well and the rock stays rideable, but the bluff-base sections hold water and the limestone gets slick when wet. A genuinely deep in-town network for a city this size.

Huntsville is mostly clay soil, which holds water and stays muddy longer after rain, so after a storm some trails firm up within a day while others stay greasy.
