This is the upper porter trail down hill part to the clear cut. I would consider this the best trail in the Capitol forest. It's a cruzier

Rode up from the bottom for a little over 5 miles and many parts were significantly overgrown. Ridable but slow going. I recommend long pants and sleeves unless you want to look like you tried to pet a cat's belly.
