Dirt Therapy - Coler MTB Preserve

Located in Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, Dirt Therapy is a short but feature-packed blue trail that delivers a mix of flow, chunk, and progression in a compact 0.4-mile descent.

Starting near the north-end Fire Line hub, the trail immediately sets the tone with fast-moving singletrack that blends smooth flow with technical elements. As you build speed, you’ll encounter a key split that defines the ride experience.

To the right, the black line offers a more technical challenge as riders drop into a chunky rock garden that requires commitment and line choice. Shortly after the trail leads into a narrow bridge with a steep descent followed by a quick punchy climb that pops you back onto the trail—one of the more dynamic and memorable features in Coler.

The blue line provides a more approachable option, guiding riders through a sweeping berm that maintains flow before leading into a less aggressive bridge feature. Both lines reconnect near the bottom, allowing all riders to share in the final stretch of the descent.

Dirt Therapy is a great example of Bentonville’s progression-focused design—giving riders the choice to push their limits or keep things smooth, all within the same trail.

Trail Tip: Pre-ride the feature split before committing. The black line brings higher consequence with the rock garden and steep bridge combo, while the blue line keeps the ride smooth and flowing. Both options are worth riding—session each to get the full experience.
