Huckleberry trail is brutal. Would recommend starting out on the Judy Spring trail. There is a parking area on the fire road. Go down this trail for 5 miles you can really pick up some speed. Becomes more technical at the bottom go all the way to Judy Springs awesome in the summer. You can go for a dip and have lunch and the falls. Nice cliffs to jump from. Then return the same way you came and climb the 5 miles out. Difficult but gradual climb. Much better ride then starting at the top of Spruce Knob.

Huckelberry trial is brutal, but Judy springs trail is well worth the trip. Check out Seneca Creek trail

This is a sweat ride. For a little hint start at the bottom and ride up the road to Spruce Knob first, and then ride all the way down.
