Land OwnerSnohomish County
A nice, fun trail full of twists and turns and roots. Great ride both directions. A few of the root sections are very technical but short. If you're at Paradise Valley make sure to ride this trail. Did I mention that there are lots of roots?
In 2023-01 the southern end was realigned slightly to deal with erosion issues, so the entrance moved a little
