      This is a downhill trail that gives connectivity between the upper C-Line and lower D-line gravel roads. It flows through a thinned forest of tall open trees. You can exit to the D-line or loop back up a little earlier near the bottom on the Aunt Edna trail. Aunt Edna has a pretty clear line of sight to watch for riders that may be riding down it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
