Hemlock terminates at a big rock slab and splits a couple ways. This trail shoots off to the right and is more of the same tech for the area.
The common route is to branch off onto Skirt but if you go left at that intersection you go down a very loose and steep hill where you cross the Hemlock Glen Trail which is a rough hiking trail with red blazes. From there you have a steep hill climb, pass the bail trail back to Crooked Lane, and then more tech until you intersect with Super C again.

      The intersection with Super C, Hemlock Glen trail, and Hemlock is on a rock outcropping and can be a tad confusing with a bunch of trails going different ways. There are a red arrow and red blaze on a tree on top of the rock.

      This trail starts at an intersection with a nice roller. It gets confusing as their are multiple arrows and paint marks on the trees. I followed the wrong markers down in to really cool chasm that would be great for hiking, but just about impossible for biking. I missed where this wrong trail reconnected to Extra C and had to bushwhack to find my way back to Skirt.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
