A trail that has a bit of everything at a moderate grade. A few rocks, roots, and bridges that can be ridden year round, in fact the wetter it gets the more fun it gets. A good intro into techie riding without the steepness and a blast in its own right. Can be linked into Walnut to finish. New trail grade in 2021.
