      An excellent trail for the Houston area considering how flat this area is. If you can ride the Triangle, you can ride any trail in Houston. A good trail to work on your technical riding, especially for a hardtail rider like me. Love it.

      There are two distinctive under road drainage culverts used to connect sections of the trail. One culvert closet to the arboretum has a cool owl mural. Fun trail with a lot of quick up and down sections and a couple decent climbs. This trail is usually less busy than the other trails at Memorial Park.
