High Point

This is a short loop that is great for most riders. Newer riders may find the climb up Old Post a bit challenging, but luckily its short and sweet Start at the Skywalker/Herkenham Trailhead and start off with a downhill on Herkenham. Be ready for a couple of rock moves and tight corners. Climb back up on Old Post, which has some stair-steppy sections and some sustained uphill. Hit Skywalker as you climb towards its highpoint via rolling terrain, then descend back towards the TH.
