Coming from the shown direction, the climb up is extremely steep and the trail is quite hard to follow. Once at the top on the ridge, the trail is much easier to see and is a fun ride down to connect with Mine Mountain

      I don't think many bikers take this trail (covered in a lot more leaves than other trails I rode), but it has a pretty fun downhill from east to west. Rooty and more technical than the nearby Mine Mountain, but not extremely difficult.
