Fun downhill, pretty cruisy, not to technical

Trail Upper Fern
I didn't consult the map, but this isn't anything close to Miracle Mile in difficulty. I think it's easier than Falline trail. There are a few rocks, but nothing steep and they are easy to walk around. I rode this with my daughter who struggled down Turtle trail.

Trail Plantation
It's not worth the effort to go down. Nothing to fancy about the trail. You can pick up some good speed but it's done before you know it. Keep riding and check out forest dream to bobcat. And finish off with cabin 89. It's a better route.
