This loop is not official but it circumnavigates the outside of the park and hits most or all of the individual loops. Great for exploring the park on the first few rides. Mostly sandy, rooted NC terrain with some gravel, rock gardens, berms, bridges, with a few skinnies and even an A frame. Midway along the East side there is a small pump track and two sets of jumps: a small line for public use and a large set for private/contest sessions. This trail is fast and flowy while still throwing technical sections at you.
