From the top of Headwaters, ride South Side, then Grumpy Grouse to the bottom of Moose Marbles.

Pedal up Moose Marbles 0.35 mile.

Approximately 60 yards before Moose Marbles temporarily flattens out on the ridge, turn left onto a gently descending singletrack. There are some small rocks placed strategically near the entrance that you can ride over.

Descend less than 0.1 mile, where Hey Noose will cross a grassy logging road.

There is a short log ride bridge onto the road, but you can bypass it on the right.

Drop off the wide road onto the VERY steep section of Hey Noose.

Please get your derriere (that's French for "butt") WAY BACK over the rear tire, in order to avoid skidding on the steep pitch.

Hey Noose ends at the junction of South Side / Grumpy Grouse, approximately 0.3 mile east of the top of Headwaters.

      I figured the only black trail in the system would be worth the climb. I was incorrect.

      Lovely scenery, but my knees hate me now.

      Fall line trail with no technical value.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
