      This is a physically demanding out-and-back trail noteable for its numerous sharp climbs followed by fast descents. Roots and water bars abound, creating techincal climbs and fun (though brief) downhills. Mountain bikers gained access to this mixed use trail only recently. As such, be respectful of hikers in order to ensure continued bike access.
