Devilcross starts off with a brief climb off of Keystone://www.trailforks.com/trails/keystone-165871/]Keystone[/L], then a few quick turns put you down at the logging road. Take a right, and an immediate left. About 100 yards down the road transitions to twisting fall-line single track, with some rock slabs and rock faces before the next road crossing. After the road crossing, The trail is fresher and the holes are bigger - the roots on this section can be challenging when it is wet. The fall line fun ends abruptly in a cedar bottomland with an off camber rock face, and the first of several creek crossings. From here the trail climbs and traverses over several creeks back toward North Galbraith. Big thanks to the Kona crew for opening up this terrain in the last few years.

Loggers have put logs across the exit of the more gnarly rock roll.

FYI, the lower section at the road is flagged closed and the WMBC update today says the same. logging hasn't started, but is apparently imminent.

      Logging seems to have taken out this trail friend m the steep rolls to the end. Surprised no one has commented on this. Ended up taking Natural Delight to finish

      It’s been a little while since I ride this trail and was surprised by the missing woods work on the middle rock roll at the end of the first section. Good reminder to look first if it’s been a while since riding something.
