Sally Trail - Wonderland
Sally Trail - Blue
If you're looking for a blue-rated trail in Bella Vista that delivers genuine technical engagement and some of the most dramatic scenery in the Wonderland system, the mid section of Sally Trail is exactly that. Running along the base of Arkansas's famous limestone bluffs, this 2,933-foot singletrack threads through narrow, rocky terrain that demands focus while putting riders directly underneath some of the most striking rock formations in Northwest Arkansas.
This isn't the wide, forgiving blue you might expect. Sally Trail's mid section is technical from start to finish — multiple rocky sections require deliberate line selection, and the trail narrows considerably in spots as it works its way along the bluff base. It's the kind of riding that rewards riders who are comfortable reading terrain and managing their line through tight, exposed singletrack rather than simply carrying speed and pointing downhill.
Within the Wonderland system, Sally Trail serves as the more engaging alternative to the green-rated All American Trail for riders climbing from the Vietnam Veteran Memorial parking lot toward Eddie's RV, the system's central hub. It intersects with Smuggler's Run along the way — home to an elevated wooden feature that hugs the same bluff line — before continuing toward the hub where riders can branch out to Ace of Spades, Area 51, and the rest of Wonderland's signature trails.
What makes the mid section special is the setting. The trail runs directly beneath the limestone bluffs that define this part of Bella Vista, and the stacked stonework along the trail edge is some of the most impressive trail building in the region. It's technical riding with a backdrop that makes every tight section worth navigating carefully.
