SaveThis trail system is directional, with a generally counterclockwise flow beginning at the trail-head. It is hard packed singletrack with a mixture of log jumps, dips, intense climbs, and fast flowing sections. There are downhills that offer the chance get up some speed and switchbacks that are technical enough for just about any rider. You'll also find a couple shallow water crossings. There are about 20 miles of single track and 4 miles of fire road to make it worth the drive. Plenty of connections/bailouts are available to change up the order of trails and make a full day of riding.
