Roller Coasters is basically a road with a fairly anti-climatic ending.  I like to ride this one once or twice a year just to mix things up a bit.  It is a fun ride, but not the best.

From the top of Shooters you’ll see a road bearing down to the south.  This is the beginning of Roller Coasters.  You’ll be viewing the west side of Poly Canyon as you ride.  Roller Coasters gets it’s name for obvious reasons…ups and downs. 

After a couple of miles, Roller Coasters ends with a 180 degree turn to the right.  From there, you’ll have to find the best path down to the railroad tracks.  There is a good single track that bears left through a spring.  You may have to walk the first forty feet due to the fact that initially it is pretty steep with loose dirt, but afterwards it is smooth down to the tracks. 

Hop on the tracks and continue riding.  Turning left will take you to Stage Coach Road, while turning right will take you to Poly Canyon, Shooters, or Stenner Creek.
