This Singletrack Trail is a loop that is fun in both directions. It’s acts as a stand alone or connector to other challenging trails. Average elevation is 70 ft per mile with mild technical portions. There are multiple locations to stop the trail short and head back to your vehicle. Doesn’t not drain well with rain within 48 hours, and large puddling/mud sections result. Some roots,corners and creek crossings can catch you off guard.
