Highland trail 4 is a bit tougher than Highland Trail 1 and Highland Trail 2. It has more roots, and a few small climbs and drops. Trail 4 offers a nice variety of singletrack features and may offer some solitude if the park is crowded. It offers some challenges for the beginner rider and enough variety to keep the intermediate rider engaged and coming back for more laps of most popular trail in the triangle area
