TTFs on TrailRock Face, Rock Garden
Flat Rock is a difficult trail with some big exposed rock slabs at the start from Old Carriage Trail . The long smooth rocks provide a bit of relief from the jumble of roots and rocks that are the rest of Sawmill. The is a significant rock garden gully near the end where it joins White Trail. The area in between has a nice mix of flow and achievable technical features.
