      This trail is the goat. I like when it dips down and the wooden features. 👍

      By far the best trail in Liberty! Props to the builder for actually using the Hillside instead of just going straight down to the water like in every other singletrack trail in this area. Very well built best downhill in the area

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
