Bandersnatch Trail

The Bandersnatch Trail is a hiking only, 3 to 6 mile out and back with an infinite number of side trail loops and options. That’s why the video is called “Bandersnatch Infinity Loop!”

Driving

– From Ashland Plaza take a 7 minute drive along Lithia Park on Windburn Way and then Granite Street. Stay to your left around the swimming hole and you will see a non-descrpt dirt pull out to your right.

Parking

– The parking area has room for maybe 8 cars, maybe. But you can just park further up on the left were there are dozens of spots.

The Trail

– From the parking area head towards the yellow pipe gate. Just past that you will turn right on the Snark trail. This is just to separate from the mountain bikers. 10 seconds on that and the Official Bandersnatch Trail begins uphill. Uphill uphill and then a little downhill and then..

At about one mile in (.9) turn right on Red ueen. ou’ll stay on that for a couple hundred yards. Pass Snark on your right but leave Red Queen to your left on… still Bandersnatch. Uphill on that and at the 1 1/2 mile moment turn right onto Gryphon Trail. This quickly connects to the Alice in Wonderland connector trail. Gryphon continues down to the right and we shall return on that.

Continue along the Alice in Wonderland connect which connects up to the original Alice in Wonderland Trail. No need for that, just scoot along the Alice Re-route trail to avoid any mountain bikers. At the 2 mile mark (2.2) you will emerge into the White Rabbit Parking lot on the 2060 Road. Skip the Parking lot and continue along the unnamed connector (unofficially The Trail of Champions) for a couple hundred yards and when you hit the Red Queen again, turn right.

Another 100 yards or so and turn right uphill on Gryphon. (3.2 miles) That connects back to Bandersnatch and crosses the Alice in Wonderland Trail heading down to the 2060 road. Just before the road, turn left on the Jub Jub Trail. (4.0 miles) Jub Jub up to Red Queen. Left on REd Queen back to Bandwersnatch. And back downhill to your parking area.

Boom! 5.5 miles.
