Beauty singletrack to loosen up on before tackling the steeper trails
off of the Svoboda Traverse. Work through the techy XC at the start,
and finish with a cool downhill section. Upper branch with bonus rock
lines can be accessed off very end of the logging spur, 100m past the
Paper Bag.

 Snow dunes worked for Fatbike. The trail itself has some lumpy foot traffic but fat-ridable. Several trees cleared along the way. Will it stay...
