      This section of the Wildcat Trail is great, there are additional loops shown on the trailhead map that currently aren't shown on Trailforks, these loops have some features that will definitely get the adrenaline flowing. As with the east trail there is a lot of potential for some seriously good trails if they keep developing the singletrack out here.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
