The Centennial Trail between Alkali Creek Trailhead and the Dalton Lake Trailhead, as well as the area between Pilot Knob Trailhead and the Rapid Creek Trailhead are favorites in the area among mountain bikers.
For those seeking higher elevations, a day-long trek to the summit of nearby Harney Peak is worth the effort. Harney Peak is the highest natural point in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. Most of the summit is bare granite and offers expansive views of the surrounding area. An old stone tower at the top, once used as a fire lookout, is still open to hikers.
