Land Owner
Natural-tread singletrack cross-country style trail that traverses a ridge before intermittently joining and/or crossing an old unsustainable unauthorized trail. New alignment of this trail is benched, physical with frequent bursts of short climbs, and somewhat technical with tight corners and roots and even some small rocks.
Coupled with Beautiful, Hansel & Gretel, High Horse and Ridge, this trail is part of a longer route to connect singletrack between Lewisburg Saddle and Dimple Hill.
OSU has officially marked this trail as not to be ridden when travel on the trail disturbs the trail tread or when there is standing water on the trail.
Access Info
Access the top of this trail from High Horse, on the left hand side just before you switch from the mostly flat to mostly downhill on High Horse. Access the bottom of this trail from Road 640, just across from Lower Bombs Away.

This trail is a good technical climb with some big roots and punchy uphill sections as the primary obstacles. I suggest climbing this trail and descending what is labeled as the "Alt Entrance/Exit" sections, if you can find them through the criss-crossing segments.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
