Broughton's Blaze is a bidirectional trail in the back country of Meeks Mountain. Ridden East to West it is downhill trending with a few short climbs. Narrow in places with some exposure, but many trees to hug on the way down. Connects Wild Wonderful Wheelbillies to Ready Amick Fire.

Don't let the jorts get caught on the seat with this quick drop to the Branch of Tacketts. It's technical with a couple blind turns. This is an approved trail by the West Virginia Enduro
Mountain Bike State Champ. Best traveled downhill, but your choice if you like to climb.
