      Rode this trail and the other three in the system. Mostly flat and fast. Climbs are short. The western side of the 609 road is rockies. Direction probably doesn't matter much. Rode on labor day weekend Saturday and only saw 2 others on the trails.

      Temporarily closed to public as of 7/27/23 due to a fire. Law enforcement did not give a time frame for reopening.

      Rode a nice figure-8 pattern that worked great (starting counterclockwise with Thunder Loop). Great way to mix it up!
