The comments related to take this trail counterclockwise are good advise. The trail was still under construction when I rode. For some odd reason the USFS specified #2 crushed stone for the trail tread. Bad call. Its hard on the tires, bike and butt. So are the horse hoof tracks. Due to bad trail conditions the going was very slow. Horses, #2 crushed stone, and bikes don't mix. Someone tell the trail designers.

when you guys do this trail i would suggest doing it in a counterclockwise direction or otherwise you will be pushing your bike up lots of hills, as me and a friend of mine found out after trying this trail in a clockwise way like it was suggested in a mountain biking trails book and boy was that book wrong!! we are going to go back sometime soon and do the trail counterclockwise and will most likely have ALOT more fun cause there are alot of hilly sections and even a few places for jumping. there are a few logs down across the trail and it is used by horses alot by the looks of it too. but it is a great trail.
