Kingdom Trails - most picturesque trails?

[sundaydoug]

Doing a little photo/video project up at Kingdom Trails next week. For this particular project the trail and background subject matter is a bit more important than the rider or the bike. It's been a few years since I've been up there and I know they've added quite a bit, so figured I'd ask opinions for those that have been there recently. We're trying to plan photo/video spots ahead of time for logistics purposes.

Few trails I remember being particularly pleasing to the eye:

- Heaven's Bench - wide open space with Burke Mtn in the background
- Webs (or Old Webs, can't remember) - pine needle-covered swooping singletrack through pine forest
- Burnham Down - because ladder bridges
- Roly Grail and Black Bear - smooth, bermy singletrack

Where else should we head to? We'll have an Airbnb right in town.

Magill Fields has a nice view of the mountain

Butter Tubs & Shonter shuffle for some great flow

I'm pretty sure (but someone correct me) that there is an amazing overlook on pastore point loop

That's correct! But Mrs. Matt_ is likely not going to be standing there when the OP goes to take a picture.

• I think if you are looking for bridges, go for Jaw over Burnham. You get a lot of options there.
• Top of Black Bear at the gazebo but that's more still life than action, similar to Heaven's Bench.
• Any of the runs in O'reilly's Backyard, as it allows you to setup in different spots and session stuff to have multiple chances

🤣 thanks @Norm , She's blushing.

I'll second O'Reillys, specifically Lou Lou's which has a few good vantage points and it's easy to session. Lighting might be a challenge earlier in the day.

A picture from this spot and the chapel are pretty much in every rider's photo album.

I've definitely been to that spot, but forgot the trail name. Thanks!

I take a quick stop and photo my bike at that spot every year. Great view of the river below.

These are not good pictures, but im guessing someone with actual skills could make something out of these spots

Right before you descend osiris (i think that the name...nice spot there)

Off pinkham road as you are making your way to butter tubs...you ride thru this field/yard with this house...always liked this spot

saying hi to JC

I wish I had a better picture of this spot on white school as it heads back towards town.....I like how the trail looks as it cuts across the hill...im too zoomed in for this picture...but I took it as I was riding.
