These trails have already been identified, but not in this particular loop. Its a relatively slow incline start from either starting direction, which your met with a very sharp and high degree incline. Starting from the east point, you'll have a much more fun downhill experience rather than starting from the west point. The majority of it is Green, however, during the downhill portion on the specified bike trail, it's a black diamond based on the trail width, rock traversing, obstacles, speed and final decline into an abrupt end/trail connection. Overall, its a fun and short power ride.

Completed the loop yesterday. Still muddy and quite a few places. But perfect ride for a late afternoon.
