Description: Great Wall is ~7.4 mile loop that can be accessed with a very short ride from the parking lot. Most people seem to prefer riding it counter clockwise but it's a great ride in either direction. Much like the other 3 trails that are accessed from the southern parking lot, this loop is fast, flowy and smooth. It's not quite the roller coaster/pump track of Skinny Loop and Brown Wave but there is little to no real climbing to speak of. Enjoy the glimpses of the river and don't make the mistake of skipping this loop.

in my opinion the best loop at FATS. Has some good climbs/downhill sections, some rocks, roots, twisty stuff follwed be roller coaster like sections. Has a 110 foot section of rock.sidewalk material known as "The Great Wall" a small rock bridge, at times logs to ride over and a hand cut twisty switch back that is fun. Love this loop in both directions. may be tough for beginer mt bikers.

Yesterday was my first time riding at FATS. The trail was very smooth,not to rooty. Make sure when you ride FATS, That you wear safety orange, so you can be seen by others riding the trail. This trail is great for a novice rider. Lots of jumps, and loop-dee-do's
