MILK RANCH TRAILHEAD Milk Ranch the ups: Mountain bike trails get the same ratings as ski runs. Green is easy, Blue we are adding a little extra, and Black steep and for the most experienced. Milk Ranch gets a black rating on the MTB Project website and for good reason. Some of the ride takes you through a tight creek bed that has some fallen over logs and big rocks. Plus, some serious steep climbs (but remember all of this real technical stuff is an easy walk around).

the downs: Think about your drive from Wingate to McGaffey Lake, all up hill. Milk Ranch follows the direction of the highway, so now think about coming down. Milk Ranch offers a loop and some spectacular scenery. You come across a big cave and some very cool waterfalls (if there is water). You do have an opportunity to take Quasimoto a connecting trail to work your way over to the Hilso Trailhead side.
