New trail built in late Fall 2017. This trail flows well from the top with some small berms and a couple little spots to air out, but expect some pedaling as the trail follows the hillside a bit and takes you up into a little hollow. Still a bit raw and primitive on spots, with a bit more work and some traffic, this trail will provide a nice loop with the Creed Trail.

Trail segments on North- and east-facing hillsides were a mucky mess. Needs some time to dry out a bit.

      I don't recall there being sprinklers here. Was that a rattler I heard?

      This trail definitely feels like a green trail to me. Compared to everything else in this area this is one of my least favorite trails. It could be a good climbing trail though. I'd much rather ride anything off of prayer flags, Given to Fly, Brass Monkey, or Creed if I'm in this area.

      Gets a bad rap for the steep uphill in the middle. Still very good trail and has some really, really fast sections if you work for it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
