Super-fun twisty and turny trail through loamy forest floor. Sometimes higher speed isn't faster Adjusting cornering speed appropriately will get you through more quickly. A few short boardwalks and corduroy sections over wet/marshy areas (and in general this trail dries more slowly than the others in the network). One tricky ridge climb at the western end that is slippery when wet; the rest is reasonably straightforward and fun. This trail also leads into the (more challenging) Grizzly trails; make sure you keep left at those intersections to stay on the loamy fun.
