The first portion is singletrack winding through trees, with lots of roots. The trail joins an old decommissioned road, which causes the "swoops". The trail ends on Van West Logging Road.
In the Fall of 2023 the old road was rebuilt, and the woods along the side were logged.
The trail connects to a new road and is still rideable to the Van West logging road.
This trail is unsanctioned.

I’ve only ever ridden this the opposite way and it’s a really pleasant surprise. Fun little detour on rigid MTB or gravel bike. Wish there were more like it in the area. The gravel roads (yawn) need more single track detours! 
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
