OSM Way
Short single track that used to run along a deer fence at times that links one to Dutch Alvin Trail from Coopers Gap Rd. Fun track punctuated by the odd rock outcrop typical of this area. At the intersection with Dutch Alvin Trail it makes a 90 turn and drops down to Brush Ridge Trail in a short fast steep descent
