High Point
This is an advanced level loop that will challenge pretty much any rider both physically and technically. The Iron Mountain portion of this route make for a solid chunkfest outing but adding on Ellie Lane approaches the brutal range. The Iron Mountain trail is very popular hiking trail so avoid on the weekend. Don't let the mileage fool you this route is much tougher than its length would imply. This area is very hot in the summer.
