      This has always been called "No Tools" by the original group that made this trail. I would recommend changing the name. It's specifically called that because they didn't use tools to make it.

      It's a great trail that runs along the bottom of the hill letting you connect a ton of other trails.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
