The trail map i got from that place was such crap. Don't listen to that stuff. That map tooks my friends and me 9 miles out of way. Yet the trails were orgasmic.

Try the Maunch Chunk Ridge trail. It is one of the "official" marked trails. A 2-hour mostly uphill section is finished with a crazy downhill rocky singletrack that goes straight down the side of the mountian.

The two hardest technical rides I know are located outside Thorpe, one on Mt Pisgah the other is the American Standard.
