At the Lenord’s Loop/ Flying Squirrel intersection, choose the upper option for the best downhill. Flying Squirrel loops back to the intersection, regardless of which direction you choose. For a quick steep exit, you can drop down the Gravel Grind trail, about .25 mile from the main intersection. We recommend finishing on Lenord’s Loop, though.
