Description
The trail starts out climbing on a grass trail then turns to climbing dirt trail.

Twisty singletrack with rocks and roots. Loophole/Larson Loop and Log Jam

have a few technical features, mostly log piles or large downed trees. Dead

Pet has the most rocks and roots and one creek crossing (without the

water though.) Be very careful when crossing Palisades Road, trails dump

you out directly on the road a few times.

Recommended route: Smeby's to Loophole/Larson Loop (for a challenge) to

Captain's/Lees Loop, to Upper Palisades to Log Jam (for a challenge) to

Middle and then lower Palisades. Finish by riding down Palisades Road or

take Dead Pet for an added challenge.

Review: The shorter section of the Decorah Trails but just like the others: rocks, roots, and hills. Smeby's, Lee's Loop (Carson's on the map), and the three Palisades routes are the easier of trails but would still be a solid intermediate trail. A few off-camber trails and turns and the rocks and roots keep it fun. Loophole (Larson Loop on the map), Log Jam, and Dead Pet are the harder trails in this section. Loophole and Log Jam have crazy climbs and lots of logs. Dead Pet is just one cool trail with some crazy roots and a bunch of rocks.
