this trail is very fun, haven't been to many trails so i can't compare it to other but the bridges and twists and turns are cool. and if you get hot while you are riding just hop in the stream and walk down it, it will cool you right off.

I was skepticle of how good this "flatlander" trail could be given the lack of topography in the area, but after riding south and gnu loops, i was impressed. They done a great job of keeping things interesting, and even provided a few "white knuckle" moments! The climb-addicted will not satisfy their itch here, but this trail is well worth checking out! the bridge on the Gnu loop is the coolest thing ever!

very good trail for those who want to have a little bit of a challenge. I try to ride there everyday and every time I ride it it always comes up with something new.

It ‘rocks’ when you enjoy a good trail. Say, have you checked out the Trail Advocacy link just on the left listed under the Trail Guides heading? Please remember it’s only as good as the effort that’s put into making it that way and it can disappear tomorrow. Please do your part. Thanks
