Mark your calendars: Phase II of Aetna Mountain is officially opening, and we want our whole community out there to celebrate! A total of 8 miles are now built, and every foot is adaptive MTB friendly.

The celebration kicks off at 3:30 PM with a ribbon cutting and dedication, followed by a chance to ride the new trails alongside Aetna Trail Ambassadors and SORBA Chattanooga. We're talking roughly 8 miles of fresh, modern singletrack built as multi-use loop trails with a twist: two completely different riding experiences depending on which direction you roll.

This adaptive-friendly milestone didn't happen by accident. Working with feedback and past consultation from Catalyst Sports, the Tennessee River Gorge Trust team and volunteers also went back through Phase I to complete reroutes and improvements, so the entire system is now adaptive-friendly, top to bottom.

This is what community-built trails look like. Come ride both directions, meet the people behind the dirt, and see what stewardship and stoke can build together.
