Beginner 30% and Intermediate 70%, .92 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that has an up and down component with few technical sections. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt and there are some rough rock surface areas. There is no preferred direction and the trail is a great connector for several loops.

      A trail with a lot of flow and little technical difficulty, good for enjoying a good descent

      We did this as a hardtail out and back from the Mystic trail head by the chapel. While it is beginner friendly, I would say that there’s a lot of rock gardens and loose gravel. That makes this a little more intermediate and quite frankly not a lot of fun, but is fine as a connector.

      Kind of a dud. Not technical but not really flowy (too much gravel.) Convenient as a connector but I’d almost rather take the road.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
