Beech Bum descends from Storm Chips via a new section along Ryerson Brook, then winding through open beech forest and across mixed mature forest to rejoin Storm Chips below the rock gardens. The top section is smooth and flowy, while the rest of Beech Bum has a natural tread, with short climbs and sharp turns that may challenge you.
