Nice run through the trees with roots and rocks, would not call this a Black run, more like a dark blue. This trail can be run back to the park but the best way is to link it to Happy Hour and run it all the way into town then shuttle back up to the park.

There are a few rock gardens that are not easy to climb, but fun to drop down. A few of the turns are steep with roots as well, just pushing this to be a bit more difficult than intermediate.
