This lower section of Dan's Hill is not ridden much, it's mostly used for equestrian purposes. Easy enough to get to from the EastBound side, but once you get to the top, it's so steep and loose, it's more skidding and white-knuckle than it is enjoyable. Best to exit Dan's Hill at the log-drop, then cut back again to the south at the next fork, putting you onto Yellow Fork Connect.

I rode this like 8 years ago, great to hear about it. I have officially changed this trail to horse primary.

Maybe this trail would be somewhat decent without it being overgrown, but even that is doubtful. It's techy, but not worth rolling through the brush. Stick to the main trails here.

Not much fun on a bike, I don't imagine I would like it on foot either. Natural conclusion... climb on a horse and make it take you through.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
