This is the portion of the loop on the west side of Highway 7. All singletrack with a couple of road shuttles. Entrances are well signed if you are looking for them.

Southern link is made across Hwy 7 via a road crossing -- small bridges span the drainage.

Northern link is made via a subway / tunnel below the Hwy 7 highway.

If you are parked at the bike wash area, the tunnel is very nearby but out of sight (behind the rec building).
