Trail Overview
Beginning at the west end, this trail follows an easy two-track path through a forest of tall oaks and maples, with sharp curves weaving between the trees. Portions of the trail are covered with loose, flat cobblestone. The route descends to several small, rocky creek crossings, which feature large, manageable rocks. Riders will encounter small logs across the trail and deep side ruts filled with rock. Flat rock slabs occasionally form minor shelves, generally under six inches in height. It zigzags up to the Treat Road Staging Area. The northern segment of the trail as it heads towards the High Mountain Loop, passes a particularly scenic creek bordered by tall rock walls and strikingly blue water. This segment includes multiple shallow creek crossings with rocky bottoms and additional sections of rocky surfaces and ruts. The trail ultimately connects to the High Mountain Loop on its northern end.
