      Interesting addition. Felt a lot faster. Undulating terrain and smooth surface means you can really get moving without much effort. Another option, not better or worse.

      What’s odd/funny is the only part of NWTimber that *really* could use a bypass is that absurd “double root drop with slide-off-the-cliff consequences”, which... is not bypassed by this. :/

      Open. Pretty nice smooth trail to take rather than the roots of NW Timber and has a nice reward at the end just before it rejoins. Seems to avoid the wetland areas that NW Timber went through.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
