Loop A shifts the singletrack of EZ Loop up a gear or two. Sandy corners, loose rocks, and plenty of roots--there's even a tiny bridge to navigate. The rolling terrain allows for some smile-inducing descents. Of course, you have to pay for the play with climbing. They're not frown-inducing ascents--those will come soon enough on Loops B, C, and D.

Pro Tip: Don't be chained to your app...you can best your time (or someone else's) another day. Stop to admire the towering pines, loamy smell, and chittering of birdies. Ahhhh. Did you notice the mushrooms and fungi? Tree clams, turkey tail, lion's mane, witch's butter, and others to be discovered!

Disclaimer

Please note: Mountain bikers ALWAYS ride clockwise as shown on the map. Hikers ALWAYS ride counter clockwise per park rules!
