Trail Description:
Trail is laid out sort of like a cloverleaf to enable riders to re-ride or cut short their ride as they see fit. The riding is very challenging but rideable with numerous rock gardens, drop-offs, ledges, skirting the edges of cliffs(be careful),mountain views, tough technical climbs/descents and loads of tight, twisty singletrack. New trails being built regularly. Most first time visitors to the park ride the trail in a clockwise direction. Orange blazes designate the main trail, white blazes designate side trails which reconnect to the main trail, very easy to follow.
