Description: Extremely difficult climbing with a wicked fast downhill. Great when ridden as a out and back. Can add Flat creek trail or lake Blue Ridge trail for more length. Park on Aska Rd trail head ride up over the several false summits then check your brakes and scream down to stanley gap trail head. Turn around and head back. Add the flat creek loop on the way back for an awesome day...

This my favorite type of trail: You're either climbing or you're descending and both come in big chunks at a time. You essential climb 2.5 miles to the summit, scream 2.5mi downhill and turn around and do the whole thing in reverse.

I rode this trail today starting from the Aska Rd parking lot. It is straight uphill to the Flat Creek/Stanley Gap trail heads. Stanley is to the right and a grueling 2 mile ride uphill to the peak. Once we arrived at the summit we turned around and killed the downhill. We ran into some very helpful hikers in both directions so be careful when flying down. The trail is rocky and some areas are tough to climb (even in granny gear). The two and half mile trip up is well worth the decent. The single track is very narrow in some spots so be careful. There is also a tree across the trail about 1 mile from the trailhead.

5 mile out and back that will SERIOUSLY put it to you. ~1500 ft of elevation gain in about 2 miles. Bring your lungs, your tech skill, and some good brakes because you will need them! Can be ridden as an out and back or there are several loop options available. See Jon Parham's Off the Beaten Track or check out SORBAs website for the loop options. This trail is epic when ridden by itself, add it to Flat Creek, Green Mt, and Long Branch and you can make a 20 mile loop of all day bliss. NOT for beginners.

This was a sweet ride. A grueling singeltrack climb, and a blistering fast, rock descent on beautiful bench cut singletrack were the highlights of this ride! Loved those gnarly downhills, absolutely killer! The trail was very "single," nice and narrow... not the wide doubletracky c*** that is evident a lot of places such as bull mountain. Nice singletrack!
