I've ridden some of those trails a few times. They're amazing and worth driving to. Red dirt and I think mica rocks in the ground that shimmer. Lots of variety of types and skill levels of trails. too.

Tim Wegner is the man behind it, should have been mentioned. Also, Redhead and an expansion of Giants Ridge were primarily funded by a small community group who established funding for Tioga In Cohasset, led by Dave Parrish
