Trail Lemon Head
I liked this trail - couple small slabs, some small bumps you can get some air off of if you put the effort forth. Nothing technically challenging but nice and flowy

Trail Lemon Head
This is a great flowy trail with almost no tech features along it. Great for beginners as well. Minimal climbs. And just flowy up and down very groomed track. connect it with all the other trails for a good loop. This one does have a view at one point to the west which is really nice as a stopping point.

This is a great start to this area. The stuff is flowy and fast and not technical in any way. It should be rated a beginner trial. Connect it with the other ones continuing clockwise for a bigger loop. I would ride it again I only give it three stars only because it is not that exciting.

Trail Stinky Spring Loop
I've seen this referred to as "Stinking Spring" everywhere else. Is "Sticky Spring" an alternate name?

More than half of the trail is now closed and rerouted in a two track. Total bummer.

The local group's facebook page says that a property issue was resolved mid-June with this trail. I didn't notice any double track in July, so I assume that it was this issue which was resolved and now all the trail is open.
