This trail has some ups and downs that are pretty difficult to climb. If you're heading south from Clarks Lake there is a very steep section that is narrow with some pretty big rocks. It is a fun expert level downhill, but it would probably be a lot of hike-a-bike to get up to Clark Lake Loop if you're heading north.
