Perfect warm up for the rest of your ride. A flowing segment with some moderate climbs and downhill sections. Fairly smooth sailing except for a few roots and rocks. You will encounter traffic in both directions on this trail but the vast majority is people coming in from the Parking Lot, so stay alert if you're riding the opposite direction.
