Description
The Meiners Loop Trail connects the western Swasey Recreation Area parking area to the Escalator and rest of the Swasey Recreation Area trails. Starting from the Meiners Loop Trailhead counter-clockwise the trail climbs a mild doubletrack within sight of Olney Creek until it junctions with the Escalator Trail. Staying right Meiners Loop takes you over a few small bumps before descending a fun singletrack with a few rocky sections. Before crossing the main access road the trail gets flat and smooth.
