Mountain Biking Bentonville: Choo Choo

Choo Choo

     If you've heard of Bentonville chances are you've heard of the Choo Choo trail.  This is a trail that it's almost impossible to ride without a smile on your face.  You start off at the flow hub which also features Moo Moo and Boo Boo... Boo Boo is ironically where I fell for the first time at Slaughter Pen.  The trail starts with a rock ramp that sends you into a jump or fun roller depending on your skill level and then one more small one before the real fun starts.   The flowing paved berms that descend the hill reminded me of a ribbon that someone stretched out and twisted then pasted onto the hillside.  After a few runs you will have mastered the flow of the trail. And I cannot confirm but I have heard on multiple occasions that the paved trail glows in the dark.
