Trail Overview
Trail W71 is a 1.6-mile connector that climbs steeply from north to south, offering a more technical ride suited for experienced users. Starting with a small stream crossing, the trail dips briefly before entering a dense beech forest, paralleling a ravine with potential water on the trail. The narrow path includes loose rock, ruts, and a tight hairpin switchback. A particularly steep section near the south end features embedded rock and deeper ruts, adding to the challenge.
Difficulty
This is a difficult SxS route with some steeper sections that have more pronounced ruts and rock, making it best for experienced riders. Note that this is considered Most Difficult by Hatfield McCoy's Rating System.
