Straight gravel road that goes gradually uphill from the bottom of Ode to Joy, picking up other trails from the “Gift” zone of the trail system. The road steadily climbs to a landing where you can head downhill to the main paved road or uphill to the start of several different trail options.

Access Info

Many trails dump into this one, particularly Mama Tried and Ode to Joy in the Gift, but there are others as well. Ride it uphill, then pick a trail to ride down, repeat.
