A nice, short intermediate trail for those wanting to move up from beginner. A few areas of exposed roots and narrow parts of the path provide a nice challenge without anything too technical.

Tree down about halfway on the trail, great up and down flow

Great XC warmup. I parked at TH and was a fabulous way start and finish the ride.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
