As all lover of quality poundcake will tell you, there is nothing as good as a good poundcake. This trail is a wonderful and abundant mix of moderately technical features and all sorts of surprises, twisting through a beautiful enchanted forest. The surface is varied but mostly solid and firm-packed, interspersed with a few rocks and roots. Although somewhat technical, competent novices and above will have a lot of fun on this trail. What a pleasure

Access Info

Poundcake starts on Loop, just as it enters the forest and at the intersection with Cupcake. It crosses the Loop about halfway in and then goes on to end on Coronary.
