A narrow and twisty cow path alongside the creek, through groves of trees and open meadows. A good singletrack climb to reach Fishbone instead of riding 318. Also good in the downhill direction.

Tread is grassy in the meadows. Needs more traffic. Very scenic trail in the spring when there's water in the creek

Trail is clear and rides well. It can be hard to find/follow in one location, as it needs more traffic, but it’s good riding.

Trail is in good shape. Can be hard to find if you don’t know where it is, as it needs traffic, but it rides well.
