This is an easy green trail if you start from one of the parking lots instead of near the top of the hill (essentially omitting the initial swerve next to the lone wolf trail start which is more part of the river scene hiking trail IMO). Also, on the bottom section where there's the 90 degree left hand turn, a rider can go right (or straight if they're returning) to hit a section with some small steep sections and little jumps.

Trails in great shape now only a few areas of sand

Sandy and lots of trees down due to flooding. Was in poor shape a couple weeks ago when I last rode it
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
