Trail Overview

This is a long route that winds through the forest on a smooth dirt path with constant sharp turns. The terrain is very similar through the majority of the route, as the trail winds through the tall pine trees, constantly doubling back on itself with big switchbacks and hairpins like a turn track. Some sections are straighter, providing a break from the twisty turns. Most of the trail is very smooth and easy with only minor loose rock and root bands in spots. It was clear of any logs, as this is a highly maintained trail system where any logs will likely get cut. It's very gradual the whole time, mostly just winding through the flat forest floor, but with a few small hills up and down. There are several road crossings that can be bailouts if you don't want to ride the entire route.
