      Fun trail, great way to mosey along from Durrance Lake. Fun in both directions and well built.

      Fun trail with a bit of exposure. Great way to get up from the Mt work parking lot or if trying to make a nice loop after riding Gnartridge then you can ride JT or Seven back to Willis Point rd.

      The recent extension to NWP is well built and fun to ride. A great addition!
