Challenging singletrack leading to Stone Mountain Trail. The easiest approach to Stone Mountain Trail is from the south trailhead on Sky Valley Road. Lots of flow at the top and tight, steep gnar at the bottom.

Access Info

Small parking lot at trail head. Best to park at Guion Farm parking lot and ride up Sky Valley Road.
