This is the most challenging trail on the island and is a technical lovers dream. The majority of the trail is ride-able with only a couple hills requiring you to hike a bike. Some extremely challenging climbs and technical descents. Tons of rocks and roots to navigate and extreme exposure in areas along cliff edge
.
Access Info
The beginning of this trail starts at the Arch Rock Viewing Platform. There is a set of stairs off to the left going up to a look out point, head up those and the trail starts to the left.
