This route includes a sample of the best Green trails. You don't have to ride all 10 miles. At many points on this loop you can exit and follow the "Home" signs at road intersections if you want to shorten this loop and get back to the parking lot.
Getting up to the Crossroads Rest Stop can be a grunt. It is well worth the effort as there are lots of easy and fun trails to ride once you are up there.
This route is the easiest way up, and it can be a workout. Take your time and enjoy getting to Crossroads. (a rest stop with picnic table and water jug)
Once at the Crossroads, take a right and enjoy Karaway, Tristy, Lemonade, and optionally Loblolly and Y-Knot (or, just stay on West Fenceline Road if you are ready to head home).
You will return back to the Crossroads Rest Stop again. Stay on the road and look for the "HOME" signs to follow Greys Highway back to the parking lot. (Pick up Home Stretch after the cattle guard for a downhill ride on singletrack to the Parking Lot)
Enjoy
