Great trail This is the first single track trail you come to (assuming you started at the main parking lot) and it should not be skipped. Great warm up trail, gets your juices flowing. Nice twists and turn, good rhythm and flow. Enough roots to keep your attention on what's ahead but overall not too roots. There is one rooty corner that some will prefer to walk about a 1/3 of the way in. Be sure to ride it both directions as it's a blast both ways.
