Description
Easily accessible from the Jane's Loop and Warrior Loop, this latest addition to the TMTA/Lehigh Trails system is another fun and rolling one. A series of downhill banked turns really emphasize this aspect of the trail. The new connector on the last part of this trail is a bit rough at the moment (9/2016) but it's a work in progress. It will get better over time and as it gets used more.
