The most difficult of the HLC system, this has it all...roots, rocks, skinnies, ups, downs and switchbacks. Old-school hand-built crosscountry trail that's 5.5 miles of in your face Great TT trial for serious workouts. Directional, depending on day-of-week, so you seem to get a new trail each weekend day.
