Powell Peak Trail offers a little bit of everything. A wide climbing trail with assorted rock features brings you up to a panoramic summit. At the summit optional roll downs offer some fun challenges. Enjoy a varied descent back to the Sweet Pine Loop with rocky gardens and a mossy wall ride. (When you hit the two track at the upper parking, take a left back to the single track.)
