At the bottom of Chimborazo Park, there's a trail that takes you over to Government Road. Cross the road and stay left of the tracks and there's another trail that takes you to Jennie Scher. Cross the road and stay right of the railroad tracks and you can pick up another trail that has a couple of ways to go, but it entails miles and miles of additional wooded, relatively technical, trails. I occasionally see other people there, but for the most part, you'll have it to yourself.

This is good information! I've tried to take that trail before but was the signage isn't very clear on where the trail picks up after that first road crossing.

Yeah, it's not marked really at all. Cross Government and stay left of the tracks. Cross over Gillies Creek on the RR bridge and immediately the trail descends off to the left. Follow that for roughly half a mile and you'll come to an intersection marked by three tires. Go right there to come up to Jennie Scher. You can go straight, but it's basically just a half mile loop that runs back on itself.
Cross Jennie Scher and follow the RR tracks maybe 200 yards and off to the right there'll be a trail that ascends the hill. If you bear left at the fork and then cross the stream, there's a couple of miles of trail that serve as a loop. If you go right, there's an out and back trail that I've never run to the end of. It's at least more than a mile, and like I said, technical but very fun. The whole area has sharp turns, steep climbs, bridges and creek crossings. It's quite a find if you're an offroader.
