Description
This is an enjoyable singletrack trail through the forest. It is marked with Red blazes but they are few and far between and the big turns on the trail are not marked with the typical double blaze indicating a direction change. The trail is relatively easy to follow except around the 3 to 3.5 mile mark at the highest point of the trail where the trail loops back and forth. There are several unmarked off-shoot trails in this area that, if followed, will lead you astray. The Mobile App helped correct our missteps. The trail runs almost entirely on the ridge top with the major elevation changes on both ends of the trail.
