Once a tiny set of walking paths between the BNR and the local
cemetery, things have exploded out into a fun XC maze that warrants
multiple tries to find everything here. New additions and extensive trail
re-working has nearly tripled the amount of riding here that starts off
with the ascent route from the cemetery gate before sucking you into
several possibilities of looping and out-n-back options.
