Where do I start - this place was good right out of the gate, some rock ramps for airtime, flat bridges,
stone wall crossings, then gonzo stone wall riding. Great rocky technical sections, tons of slick rock and quality made
in USA bike stunts like "blind faith" and "real consequences" and "ginko biloba" because I cant remember any others.
We are pretty sure aliens made this trail - gonzo stuff for all the extreme riders. And surprisingly a bit of vertical for a
short ride. Check it out - this place is a pukemaster special!!
West of Hartford/Route 2:
take 84 to Rt 2 to exit 13 (left at exit)(route 66). follow for about 6 miles, go through Hebron center. as you enter
Columbia,
you'll see Skyline Farm barn at top of hill on left, take next right onto Hunt Road to stop sign and turn right onto
Wellswood... (and then your parking directions...)
East of Hartford:
take 84 to 384 to exit 5 (route 85). go past Gay City and to the T-intersection with Rt. 94(take left turn) (Hebron Ave).
Take to traffic light intersection with 66 and turn left. go through Hebron center, and as you enter Columbia,
you'll see Skyline Farm barn at top of hill on left, take next right onto Hunt Road to stop sign and turn right onto
Wellswood...
(taking the back roads'll probably be less miles, but this way is definitely FASTER!)
Route 6 (Bolton area)
follow "suicide 6" to the intersection with 66 (near Ford dealership) and turn right. After the traffic light
intersection in very-rural columbia center, continue straight and watch for a flashing yellow light. take the next
left (about mile up) onto Hunt R
Summary: Stunt filled loop. Some man made bridges and jump/laning ramps. Lots of natural drops of all heights and an overall good ride even if you skip the stunts.

Summary: The yellow arrow trail is amazing!! There is so much diffrent types of riding on one trail. There are tons of cat walks, briges, drops, rolls, technical sections exc. It is about 7 miles.
Recommended Route: The yellow arrow trail!! Park your car on the side of the road near the end of Wells Wood RD. The RD is a dead end and at the very end there is a dirt road. You can go riding down here but you can get lost for hours on end. I did this w/ my buddys and it took like 2 hours to find the main trail again. There is tuns of single track w/ good technical sections. If you are looking for an awsome ride w/ cat walks, drops, realy technical sections exc. Then you want rhe yellow arrow trail. To ride this trail, back were you parked your car there is a small trail in the righ side of the road. I flew by it today and didnt even see it. There is a small yellow arrow under a red sign, this is where you venture in.
