Trail Overview

MV26 is a moderately difficult trail featuring a mix of steep grades, narrow shelf sections, and rugged terrain. Starting at the south end, the trail descends steeply with small loose rocks, deep ruts, and tight turns before crossing a small stream. It continues as a shelfy path along the hillside with a heavy layer of decomposing leaves and occasional mud puddles. A significant challenge lies midway through the route with a steep, rutted hill climb that can be difficult to maintain traction on, especially when wet. The trail ends with another stream crossing over Meadows Branch on the north end.
