After finishing Time Warp, we pedaled up the ~1,200 ft. climb from 4 Corners to Upper Lynx (Missing Link on the actual trail sign).
Not worth it at all! The upper section was so slow and awkward, especially just after riding Time Warp. Maybe a couple little parts that were cool, but that climb was wretched in the heat. We were hoping for a payoff that never came.
I'm actually a little perplexed that this trail has such high ratings, especially if people are riding Time Warp during the same ride.. Very possible the trail conditions made for the terrible experience, but Lower Lynx got back to being fun.
Skip it if you just did Time Warp.
