Ride up the road grade and take a left at the intersection, a short climb up some switchback and then it's a fun descent with some log-overs and small drops and a fun chute.

Trees have been cut out but trail is very brushy.

      Overgrown which makes it hard to see obstacles.

      Recent trail work on May 8th and May 22nd focused on brushing heavy vegetation overgrowing the trail, trail crews managed to punch thru approximately half of the badly neglected trail so far. Another work party is setup for June. After brushing a number of re-routes and feature work is planned, most likely to be worked on in Fall. Trail is rideable now, but is fairly overgown for the last half. Also a number of mountain beaver holes towards the end of the loop back towards the parking lot to watch out for. Loop is two trails in one, Sickter (old front-half) and Lars (new back-half), they ride very differently, so far only Sickter portion is uncovered. If you would like to help out with trail work please check out NWTA's website (nw-trail.org) for work party events

      There are signs at the start saying this trail is oneway, counter clockwise.
