Whether it's intentional or not, the Blue Loop starts with a squirrel trap--a rooty chute drop that'll clue you in on the trail to come. Like most things in life, it's either a big something, or a big nothing. If you and your bike avoid becoming trail carnage, then you're good to proceed. Probably. It's a green rated trail, but stay alert. There are plenty of rocks, roots, sandy spots, and dippy-doo's to snag that front wheel. As you ride, enjoy the sights and sounds of an Eastern Cross Timbers region forest--flora, fauna, and squirrels!
