Jun 15, 2018 — Fossil Flats is what the trailhead is referred to, but the Fossil Flats Loop is actually a combination of three mountain bike trails: Outlaw Loop, Sawmill Loop, and Racers Hill. I started up the west side of the Fossil Flats Loop, on the Outlaw Loop. It was a pretty trail an occasionally hugged Lee Creek, but winded so much, due to being a mountain biking trail, that it made me feel silly. The Racers Hill Trail extension was kind of just a boring walk through the woods, but then the east side of Lee Creek, on the way back, was really nice and stayed higher above Lee Creek, so there were some nice views.
