Intermediate 20% and advanced 80%, 1/2 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack, that has a number of technical sections that make it a higher skilled ride. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt mixed with rocks. My preferred direction is east to west because it is downhill, if you love a technical uphill ride this trail is totally rideable by determined riders. The trail is a great connector for several other fun loops, and allows riders to ride in an east to west direction south of town.
