      Just to add. This trail would not be great for beginners. 10 ft exposures on one side. Very twisty with a variety of small tech. They might get quite frustrated getting off the bike so many times. It's slow tack pretty much the whole way. I gave it a four before but this time I really think it's a three.

      I rode from Mystic to broken arrow. Agree with bensgig’s review, it’s a good intermediate trail with a few features that some may have to hike-a-bike. I enjoyed it, and it’s scenic as well.
      I did this trail because I was still trying to get my confidence up while still getting some chunky riding in.
