      Better as a climb, just skip Trent Trail and climb this to access the tip. Many small rock features, but nothing too difficult or exposed. Much easier than Bewitched and Goat Trail

      A fun technical rocky trail. Chinkapin oak is a little more enjoyable but this is a great trail for those who like to ride something other than smooth hard pack dirt. The black trails in this system are my favorite type of riding. Lot of good stuff here!

      Listen …. Sometimes the name of a trails gives you hints as to its technicality!!LOL. Yes it’s ALLLLLLL ROCKY—— so do it down hill much easier to roll over that stuff!! It definitely might require a massage of the neck afterwards !! LOLOLOL
