This is the first trail most people run into after climbing up Alchemist. This is assuming you came into the camp via Iron Springs Road. It is a trail with equal ups and downs not a lot of climbing but not a lot of descending. Nothing overly technical, a few tree roots and ruts but most with multiple lines. It is all singletrack and very well maintained. Remember this is a trail within Camp Tamarancho and a fee is associated with riding in the camp, mind you it is a small fee that is well worth the experience. Easily purchased at sunshine bikes in Fairfax or online.
