Starting just past the entrance to Honey Bee, Far Out is a great bit of meandering single track that goes out to the Boomerang Chair and then returns to the base via Hobbits trail. There are several uphill sections to remind you how to pedal

Multi-use single-track trail, a secluded alternative to the wider Hobbits Trail. Frequent sightings of spruce grouse, calypso orchids, and huckleberries! Multi-use trail (hike/bike).
