What is the best type of bike to use for this trail?

In April 2024 I had two other riders with me, their bikes had hybrid tires and mine had road bike tires. While my partners had 1-3 scary incidents in softer gravel, I had about 9-10 with the skinnier tires. If I ride the Cowboy trail again it will be with minimally 2" tires. The softer surface while generally at road crossing pop up randomly along the trail!

A gravel or mountain bike is better suited. The trail can have inconsistent surfacing at times where having a wider tire can help. I'd recommend a minimum of 40c or 2.0 tire width. Air it down a bit for some cushion and enjoy the "party pace"! Hope you come ride the trail!
