The Forest service Road needs cleaned up… There were some small and large trees across the road. It’s a steady climb until you get to halfway run. Halfway run is about a mile and a half downhill single track all the way to the Greenbrier River Trail. It’s fun on the way down and Rocky hit the bottom. It’s not technical, but it is pretty wet and there’s a huge mud hole near the end before you get on the Greenbrier River Trail.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
