The upper section of the Limekiln trail (Overgrown) is more exposed and contains some steep sections. Trail can be loose and rocky in areas. If you ride on a hot day, bring extra water. Trail connects with Woods trail (Power Poles) where riders can descend towards Mt. Umunhum (east) or back towards Kennedy/Priest Rock (west).
