Land OwnerCity of Hurricane
No sands, but plenty of quick on the downhill counterclockwise - just enough tech to keep you on your toes. Roll it clockwise for a gradual climb with a steep pitch in the middle. The high tree canopy, hovering maples and pond views make this a sweet treat for trail candy.
