Lost Loop is a fantastic hand cut Singletrack trail and can be ridden in both directions, however most usually ride it counter clockwise. Physically challenging as it has plenty of short punchy climbs mixed in with some small chunky rocks. A few Rocky tech areas, with one expert level downhill run…but this also has a bypass for less advanced riders. A favorite loop which should be included in your ride
