Yew Trail is a beautiful single XC line with some chunky sections in the middle. A couple hard rooty corners that require some balance and strength to avoid walking the bike and then there is a big section that is smooth and fun.
Not much elevation gain or loss, but what you will gain is access to "Roger's Roost" a view point on Duck Lake that is worth the stop.
So many options
