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.

We ran the trail from north to south. Trail was a little muddy from rain but seems like it drains pretty quick. Some slick spots in the sand patches but nothing too crazy. The trail has some mudholes but its easy to ride around them. South end has a hill with some rock ledges that may be a little challenging.

Fun trail. Came in from the bottom. "Gate Keeper" is a good climb, there are some narrow areas, a few mud puddles. There is a play area about halfway through that is narrow and steep. Coming out on the north end (in the mine) is a bit confusing we wound up going back out the way we came in.

Normal

33” with 2.5 inch level and didn’t use lockers. Took south to north. It was overall very easy. There is a “gate keeper” so to say at the beginning of the south side. It’s just a rock wall with some 12 inch ledges. That’s definitely the hardest part. But once your past that it’s easy sailing. It lets out at a mine then goes to an asphalt plant. Lots of large machinery and has a nice overlook about halfway.
