This short run that is best done in the downhill direction from the intersection with Locust Gap Trail. Once you pass the first switchback near the top it a plain sailing all the way down to the road. Just make sure you avoid the natural tree "magnetism" as they try to pull you into them as you fly down.

It is blazed in White
