Land OwnerMission Forestry Tree Farm
Sorcerer's Apprentice was the trail name for the entire stretch from the tower, to what used to be Jolly Rancher.
Today (2024) with the addition of Bear Buns, it is considered the stretch where Luge finishes, connecting to the road BR SA200. The upper portion of what was Sorcerer's Apprentice was overgrown and failing, but was reclaimed/cleared in 2023 and renamed Dandy's Velocipede.
