      From the Stokesville campground, this starts at a very loose and steep climb to a double track road section. Then goes back into singletrack and becomes another very loose and steep climb to the intersection with Lookout. Then it goes both up and down as a singletrack trail and turns back into double track. As you near Magic Moss, you go around a gate and it turns back into singletrack. After more loose/steep climbs you reach a super fun descent (Trailforks has the overlook/view point marked near the top of this descent).

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
