Land Owner
This advanced singletrack trail features raw, technical Slatyfork Spruce terrain with timeless rock gardens, log bridges, and root obstacles. One of the most rugged rides in the Mon, it descends 450 feet to the Right Fork Tea Creek Trail. Right out of the gate, users encounter a challenging root and rock garden that’s a scenic walk but a tough maneuver on a bike. The first section is flat, with a slope that gradually increases. However, riders have their work cut out to maintain speed through the twists, turns, and physical rock gardens. This loop is a Tea Creek Area favorite amongst advanced riders.
