TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by RidingPastor on July 5, 2011
I thought this was a pretty simple and fast ride until I got to point where it crosses the forest road. Then it was climbing up the hill with no switchbacks. A lot of climbing! I rode in my easiest gear for some of the ride and rode one of my highest, the trail was that fast in some sections. It was not technical or flowing like I am used to in the Triad.

Wide variety of trails to choose from. Awesome rock gardens on prickley pear and skullcap, also some nice flat rock as well.

Variety of difficulties from the Basin Trail and May Apple (easy) to Royale (moderate) and very challenging rides (like SnakeRoot and Prickly Pear). Variety of conditions. A fair amount of Rock Gardens on the harder trails.

The May Apple trail roughly parallels a section of the Poverty Creek trail, but
follows an easier route.

Royale is a great trail ridden either direction; as either an easy climb or fun downhill. Links the Poverty Creek trail to the Prickly Pear trail.

The Hairball trail is typically only ridden downhill because the section of trail near the top of the mountain is very steep with numerous small drops and many roots.

Great downhill ride with some loose rocks and trail erosion towards the bottom of the trail that provides a nice variety of trail conditions. Great for speed.

Not one of my favorite rides, but two trails stood out if you are looking for technical and exciting downhills. The snake trail lives up to its names with a long down hill that cuts back and forth every 100 feet. Awesome in the summertime when the mountain laurel create a canopy right over your helmet. Jacobs ladder is also well named - tough roots make it more ladder than stairs with some drops that will keep your heart pounding. Haven't ridden the other trails.
