Trail Overview

This trail is fairly overgrown, with tall grass beginning to reclaim sections of the path, giving it a more rugged and unused appearance. As you follow the route, you'll encounter a slight off-camber section where the trail leans to one side, adding a bit of caution to the otherwise gentle terrain. The trail also passes close to several trees, so it's important not to carry too much speed to avoid rubbing against trunks or low branches. Despite these minor features, the trail remains simple and scenic, offering a peaceful drive through natural surroundings. There are no major obstacles, making it ideal for a relaxed exploration.
