Land OwnerUSDA
The Great Wall is the most "well-rounded" trail at FATS, with a little of everything. Some very fast down hills, tough climbing, plenty of whoop-de-doos, and a very tight and twisty hand built section offer lots of variety.
The loop gets it's name from the long section of trail armored with concrete. While not quite as big as the real Great Wall, it's still an interesting challenge.

Two significant trees down across the trail.

Fun trail. I rode ccw but to go click-wise will give you a solid climb at the end.
Stay on the bricks when possible. They are fully buried. Idk why people ride next to them. They are meant to be used as the trail. This sandy soil when combined with steep slopes will erode but the bricks are impervious to erosion.
Fun trail for all level of riders
