Trilha que por um lado começa no Morro do Careca e termina na estrada de terra da Vale para o retorno a Rio Acima via Escolinha. Uma das paisagens mais lindas do Gandarela. Areia, rock garden técnico muito divertido A subida no estradão é longa e dura, mas rolável. Atuamente há uma cancela da mineradora em que um funcionário pode pedir identificação. Água potável no córrego do final do single track.

      Trilha está perfeita. Show pra gosta de trilhas técnicas. Não tinha ninguém na portaria do projeto Apolo (sábado). Não recomendável para iniciantes. As partes técnicas exigem bom preparo.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
