Difficult singletrack trail but not impossible to ride up - far easier than the impossible old Honwee Circuit trail. This connects the Honwee Circuit Trail near Lulu Brook with the Honolulu Trail at the top.

      If you climbed up Honolulu this is the more fun way to get to the Skyline trail. If your goal to get to the Turner trail take the road when you get to it. The skyline trail is terrible due to all the atv traffic which has made it barely rideable. Plus you’ll be able to get the top of Turner trail from the road.

      fun climb that has some of the short, sweet, steeps that’s you need to burst up ... and it’s the best descent (i’ve done) in Pittsfield

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
