The Deer Grove Unpaved "Mountain" Bike Trail -
Photos 2
I'm sure you can't read this from the photo, but this is one of the "No Horses, No
Bikes" paths, off of the main path...
Fallen trees are very common along the DG "mountain" trails... Here's the
About-Bicycles mascot (Dale) carrying his Trek hybrid over one of the smaller
obstructions...
Here's one of the purple trail markers and a view of that trail. The purple trail is just
a very short section that connects the yellow (the longest loop) with the orange (the
abandon Forest Preserve road).
This is the trail intersection sign for the yellow and purple trails. This is an important
intersection if you want to head over the the orange section, which is a really nice part
of the trail system in Deer Grove. Take the Purple to go to the abandon Forest Preserve
area and ravines (the orange section), or just stay on the yellow to go around all of DG
west on the mountain trails.
You will also find the "letter" trail markers on these back woods trails, but I
find them much harder to make sense of and to follow... I'm sure there is some logic to
them and they do make good landmarks to help you keep track of where you are... or have
been...
