This trail's upper part above the Wood River is directional for mountain bikers in the north to south direction and is fast flowy single track with some slighty rocky parts. AKA, the west side of the trail is only North to South for mountain bikers. This HAS to be ridden counter clockwise. Popular area for hikers and dog walkers, so it can be busy at times. Often ridden as a combo with Chocolate Gulch.
