Mountain Biking Sugarloaf Trail

****   Add a review
#117 of 295 mountain bike trails in Pennsylvania
#4,664 in the world

My first real downhill, and by 'real' downhill, I mean 'real' downhill. A nice combination of fast, smooth straightaways and steep rock gardens. I walked one of the rock gardens. My arms were aching and it was just so fast. One section of loose rocks shattered my dork disc.

Trail starts off as black blaze, but meets and orange blazed intersection. Take orange. Two downed trees must be carried over. With proper shuttling can be done over and over again. Pizza, ice cream, wraps, coffee are all waiting at the end of the ride.
