Welcome to SMP! This trail is notoriously the rockiest of the KC trails. This loop however is the easiest...

A lot of good work has been done on this trail recently, making it a true green trail. Prior to the recent work the rock gardens were more of a blue rating. I kind of miss some of it but the trail flow is nice. Great work by the trail crew!!

Great easy trail, dirt, small roots. Fun to ride and a true green trail.

This trail has been smoothed out and flows nicely now. There are a couple of rocky and rooty sections but mostly flow that's fun for all skill levels.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
