Description
Starting from Trail 204, this singletrack climb weaves through trees at a moderate grade. Some of the turns do have a bit of loose gravel. The turn up the ridge line begins with a rocky start on narrow singletrack. As you rise above the landscape the view continues to improve until you arrive at the top take a moment to enjoy the vistas and keep an eye out for wildlife. For the descent, follow the dirt road to the right as it connects with Trail 203. It's recommended you don't follow the Riverside Bluff Road down its steep and extremely loose pitch.
