532

This ridge line trail starts on the east end with a shallow creek crossing in an overgrown wooded section full of trees, brush, and low branches. After the creek, it climbs up to the intersection with #533 on a wide-open ridge line. The climb is steep with a rockier section at the bottom of the climb. It's a short section of small rock boulders of moderate difficulty. There are also a couple of embedded flat boulders in the steep sections of the climbs that make them more difficult. It keeps climbing, and the trail is a bit rutted, but sometimes has several line choices. The dirt is a bit loose on the steep sections, but overall it's still an easy to moderate-level trail. From the intersection with 533 it continues to drop down the back side of the mountain with several more gradual descents, and a couple of sweeping turns as it descends. The terrain is wide open rolling hillsides when the trail is on the ridge line, but it turns into more of a pine tree forest when it drops down to connect to the #531 ATV trail. There are lots of whoops on this trail.
