Difficulty

The trail rating of 2 is for the narrow width, one SxS width but plenty of room to the side of the trail when meeting others. Some road crossings and driveways are steep so use caution and be alert for other traffic. There is a mix of both yield and stop signs when the trail crosses other roadways. Most are at an incline so remember to keep your distance when following others to give them some room to get started uphill from a stop.
