Description
The start is an open grassy field. Heading into the woods, you are greeted with the first of two real hills. Trail winds throughout wooded areas, meadows, and dirt roads until you get to the second real hill, named 'the bowl'. Most of the course is shared with a Fitness Trail and very easy to navigate as it's basically the widest trail throughout the park.
