    Rock Solid Trail Contracting

A cross country trail near the top of East Bluff. Includes rocky sections as well as more gentle dirt singletrack. A portion in the middle takes advantage of an old logging road corridor. The highlight of this trail is the massive viewpoint at the top of East Bluff, with immense views to the south towards Lake Superior. Some exposure and narrow corridor is found in the western portions of the trail.

Access Info

Can be accessed from the 'hub' at the top of Magic Carpet and Flo'Rion where they meet the access road, or picked up near the top of the switchbacks on Magic Carpet as you climb the hill.
