Fun flowy sections separated by some very technical rocky obstacles make Gunny Loop a popular trail. Be prepared for occasional sandy spots, 2' ledges, steep ramps, and some aggressively inclining single-track that may have you hiking your bike. Observe the cut-off routes to adjust your ride for time or mileage.
