Cool singletrack that feels a bit remote, even though you're never too far from home. Get ready to cross a lot of streams on this trail, some over bottom bracket heights and too deep and long to ride through at certain times of the year. Regardless, it's a beautiful ride. The top mile is a blast, the middle is just ok, and the last 2 miles or so are nearly flat, and stream heavy. BE WARNED, when I road this I popped out on a gated private road that I did not know I entered or was on until after I hit the gate. My tracks might have missed a not-so-obvious turn near the end, or the only way out is indeed on a private gated road for which you can exit, but not enter.
A better route is to take the first left and connect over to the bear creek loop. You can go right or left at the double track. Left is quick and less interesting. Right has a slight climb back up to the main Bear Creek single track descent, which is definitely more fun.
