A one way intermediate trail starts at Zero and intersects with Corkscrew, Millstone and Lost Spring then climbs back up to meet Bell Return. This trail has beautiful views of Swift Creek Reservoir along with several creek crossings and a few rock gardens.

      Great flow and tons of fun, can be a good beginner trail if you go slow or kick it up in speed to make it more challenging. Beautiful scenery, too! Only complaint is that it’s too short

      That one rock garden in the middle is a bi**h
