Trail Overview
You will start out on gravel until you reach the summit. As you follow the course, you will come to a closed yellow gate, at which point you continue on the trail to the left. Once you reach the top, it offers a view for miles. As you continue on, the trail becomes dirt and sand. You will traverse sandstone ledges up to 24 inches and mudholes that may reach 30 inches in depth. The mudholes have solid bottoms, so no worries of sinking. As you approach the end of this trail, there is a "playground" area off to the right that offers a couple of different lines of sandstone ledges that you can try to conquer.

Difficulty
