Trail French Fry
Fantastic trail with plenty of rock gardens. Beware around the teal house on the other side of the ravine, I had 2 dogs run from that house and chase me barking and snarling about a 1/4 mile down the trail.

Trail French Fry
This section of French Fry is more flat but at the same time more technical than the upper part, mostly due to more severely rocky sections. Probably at the high end of "blue" rating (at least for the area), with one particularly nasty rock obstacle along the creek (easy to walk over). Towards the end, it has some fun rutted downhill sections.

Trail Upper French Fry
Great single track! Doesn't gain or lose elevation too quickly in either direction. A bit of rocky chunk and some bumps that can be rolled or jumped, and some berms here and there.

Fun trail best ridden from 299 to end at iron mtn road.
There is also a connector trail now from Kevins trail which is how we started the ride.
