This is a 'figure eight' trail that loops back on itself and creates a little XC-oriented short track. There are some spurs and optional side-trails that can also be worked in. Fun and fast in both directions, and more beginner-friendly than most of the trails at Skytop.

Access Info

From Old Schoolhouse Rd, take the doubletrack West then North to the jump line. Follow the straight trail into the pines; this will lead to the 'middle' of the figure eight loop. Alternately, take any woods entrance to the North of the doubletrack until you meet up with the main loop.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Watch for the black walnuts on the trail - they are like baseballs and will kick your bike off to the side while riding.
