Trail Cliff Trail
Significantly more difficult than timber ridge. Timber/wolf is child’s play in comparison

Some of the farther east parts of this are difficult on a mountain bike, now sure how anyone drives out there. Some big mud puddles.

You have to see it to believe it and you probably can't ride it.

Trail Meadow Knob
Great alternative to the crowds on Reddish. This review is only covering the trail from Meadow Knob to Cliff Trail. I haven't done the section from Cliff Trail junction on, instead it is more customary to take a right on the burly and unrelentingly rocky Cliff Trail back to Hone Quarry rec area.
Anyway, this section of Meadow Knob trail is an old school rumble, a straight line ridge run with lots of chattery rocks, steep chutes, sniper logs and rocks, and a few modest rock obstacles to warm you up for Cliff Trail. Expect overgrowth in summer months. It's got some very steep chutes and loose scree and after storms will have runnels and new rocks pop up. Not often done, but an adventurous, exciting descent from the scenic Meadow Knob to the top of Cliff Trail.
