This is one of several unidirectional loops in the system. The trails that form these loops are generally fast and flowy, with a number of creative bridges and features (which can be bypassed, if desired). The loops are designated to be ridden clockwise Sunday through Wednesday (in which case, follow the red arrows) and counterclockwise Thursday through Saturday (gray arrows). This loop connects at 2 points with the Flying Squirrel loop at the south end, and with a bidirectional connector trail at the north end.
