The Expert Loop gets a bit more flowy in this section. The natural mounds create an almost constant up and down trail. There are never-ending log crossings. Many manmade jumps and obstacles paired with natural terrain will challenge any rider. Most climbing is a blue level but there are a few steep sections.

      Somehow this is my favorite, and least favorite trail at the park. Super fun and flowy with tight turns and good mix of downhill and climbing. Some tight off camber bits as well. The real shame is the state of the trail. Most of the wooden features are falling apart, and quite dangerous. There are also a lot of logs, so I'd be sure to have a bash guard to protect your chain and frame. This goes for all of the trails at the park really. Fun single track, but with a team of volunteers to upkeep it better it could be phenomenal.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
