This is a moto trail. Upper segment starts in a clear cut that has many thorny weeds along the side of the trail. Once you are in the woods (about 1/2 way down the upper segment) it's clear sailing. Wooded section (both upper and lower) is technical - twisty with lots of roots - but fast.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Top half is terrible. A rut full of baby heads . Bottom half below the road is fun.
