Description: The first part of the trail is a mess of sharp rocks. Not a trail for clipless pedals, lemme tellya. The trail gets better after the rocks and is actually quite pretty. You can wade through the creek on the low road or take the high road and avoid getting wet. The high road is more fun as it has more ups and downs. Trouble is, you never quite get away from the rocks. There are rocks all along the trail in really random places. At one point I nailed a rock with my front wheel and endoed. I lost some flesh on my hand and left some blood there. It was a pain-in-the-butt ride because of all the trouble it gave me with the dang rocks, but all in all, it was a great place to develop technical skills. We never really got to where we could pick up speed, so it wasn't much of a thrillride.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

This really was a good trail. It seems to me that it connected to a network in here somewhere. Also, it's not far from some other great hiking/biking trails. Grab a map, they're all over the place.
