Not on my short list of favorite trails, but very good for quality time in the forest. The only "fast" trails ore the old paved roads--most everything else is painstakingly picking your way around embedded stones, fallen limbe, and roots. Excellent for honing tech skills, but it gets old fast.

kinda technical, nice views, some good downhill. lots of trails, but they get kind of confusing after a while, or maybe that was the weed.
