Hike, Bike, or Horse

One of the more recognizable features in the “Inner City” is Stripe Rock, named for the aplite dike that divides the east face like a lightning bolt. Many other popular trails are accessed from this route: Geo Watt, Site 18, North Fork Circle Creek, Bumblie, and Box Top. Bikers will find the loop more enjoyable if ridden in a counterclockwise route.
