Description: Be ready to hit the hills. The first thing you will encounter a series of switchbacks, seven in all going up the hill. Its a given your legs will get a work out. When you hit the top its off to the races. There are several hills, a couple of rock gardens, several bridges, and a pretty good drop for some great riding. If you like technical you will get that here too. Its a good mix with some trees to go over too. You wont get bored with this trail.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

I will try to keep it short. Overall I think this is a great trail. Probably one of the top three trails in KY. You start off into the seven dwarfs. I call it the seven devils. If you can make it up all seven without stopping I say you are in dang good XC endurance shape. It doesn't help that I haven't MTN biked in 3 1/2 months, but those are rough. There is a lot of trail here and it is well maintained. Once you make it through the seven devils you can let it rip and the trail is fun xc. There are a good amount of stumps etc. to make it fun. I haven't done all of the trails, but I am looking forward to exploring it. The plunge is rougher than I thought. My girlfriend went down it several times and I choked. Talk about an ego crusher! It is a great trail though and if you haven't done it I suggest it. You won't be disappointed. I suggest you prepare yourself for one heck of a leg burner because the seven devils is 1 1/3 miles of pretty vertical, with pretty tight switchbacks, climbing.

Rode Youngers today and found it to be very good. You do need to have some skills to ride this trail. It is a pretty tough climb up through the dwarves and there are several sheer drop offs if you go off the trail as there are on the other side on the way down on some nice switch backs. Nice speed riding at the top. No sign for Miller rd, but it is second left after you get off the Interstate.

Awsome for the up nice and easy once you make it through the 7 dwarves, good single traks on the top of mountain 15 foot drop is nice if it is dry. Need a buddy for the trip up and the trip down tight switch backs
