Description
This trail can be ridden as an out and back, shuttled from top to bottom, or
as part of a greater loop incorporating the Milma trail and the Tibbs trail.
Ridden south to north, it's a killer doubletrack climb that turns into technical
singletrack near the top of the mountain. Ridden downhill, north to south,
it's a beast of a downhill that has TONS of opportunities for airtime and
some sick banked turns to keep up your speed. Try to keep your eyes on
the trail even though the surrounding views are amazing. No matter how
you decide to ride this one, you are gonna love it.

Review: Downhill as described. As fast as you can stand. The climb up is long and steep. The last 1/4 mile of the climb is a beast. But the trip down is worth the effort.
Review: I wouldnt call it advanced, the hill climb was pretty easy... But when i rode this trail, it was way too muddy! I live ten minutes from Windy Gap, i will be back when its dry...! I seen the potential down hill... But had to ride it slow. I'll BE BACK...! lol
Review: This is a totally rocking downhill! The upper sections is super gnarly with massive rocks and some steep switchbacks, and then the bottom straightens out and offers up jump after jump with several massive berms to rail. This fun ridden as a shuttle with a full-on DH bike, although the drive from bottom to top is a long ways around.
Review: Though most people normally do this trail as part of a greater loop, we chose to shuttle it as a downhill ride on our trip. Easily, one of the BEST downhill rides in the State of GA. "Thrilling" just doesn't do it justice. I will definitely be back to ride it again. Maybe next time I'll incorporate the other trails in the immediate area for the loop version but there is no way I'm going to miss getting to ride down this one.
