Description
This is a short and east to access loop that begins/ends on the main Wagon Wheel Loop. It consists of a few punchy climbs and descents through moderately technical rock gardens but still retains a bit of flow. Additionally, the trail is fairly narrow for a true singletrack experience. Following this trail in any direction is fun.
