Trail Mud Hen
I ride this trail A LOT. Never got lost. Couple of sketchy spots with tight corners, tight singletrack, and a lot of fixed rocks. This is the first of three trails that end up at the ponds. The trailhead has wonderful views to the North, West, and South. If you go do Holland’s Loop and then the single track on the north side of the mountain you can connect with this one using the fire road.

So overgrown that I got lost and thought I’d never make it back to the trailhead. I almost called my mom until I heard yelling from a belligerent local and followed the yelling back to the trailhead. SCARY!!!
