Flowing singletrack trail through hardwood forest. Some minor features - small berms, logs, switchbacks - that are great for beignners. Slopes are not steep but still challenging. Trail continues across Mine Run creek and you can continue on by walking across the exposed stones or by fording the creek during low water times of the year.
