Description: Tricky, technical ride. Fairly short, only 6 miles or so, but lots of rocks making for tough climbing on the way up, which translates into a fun downhill on the way back. Some real rocky parts, a big baby-head field, then at the top a double-track fire-road that goes to a bunch of old homesteads from back in the day. More trails are accessible once you hit the first homestead. A fun ride all around.

Nice trail on the downhill. I'll definitely bring flats and shoes (plus armor) next time around. It's all ridable downhill, but you'd have to be an animal to ride this one uphill. The trail extends beyond the stated length. It's 10.5 miles to hit all(?) the homesteads.

Technical ride, but fun. Did a lot of hike-a-bike on the way up on the real rocky sections and the step-ups, plus the baby-head field. Made me feel like amateur. The way down was a lot of fun though
