Commonly used to climb from Avery Creek Road to the intersection that leads to Avery Creek Trail, Upper Black Mountain and Buckwheat Knob. Mostly ridable, some riders may find a few very short sections to be hike-a-bike.

      		 Recent work done, trail is now easier I think, one very soft muddy spot. Otherwise running smooth!
