Ying & Yang is one of the steepest trails in the system. The trail is split into two halves. One from the top until the intersection with Gargoyle (Ying), and one from the intersection with Gargoyle to the end of the trail where it meets up with Gargoyle again (Yang). Both are very steep and are very loamy with lots of roots. Yang is the harder of the two and there are multiple lines that can be taken.
