These are the most difficult trails in the park, but nothing like Pisgah by any means. I only rated it as black diamond in comparison to the other trails at this park. GO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHAT THIS ROUTE SHOWS BY STARTING AT THE NORTH AND GOING SOUTH. There is a lot of short ups and downs with a lot of roots, off cambers, some slick low spots, rocks, etc. This is a very tight and winding trail but great for skills work.
