And Harrisonburg is not in WV, but Virginia. The trail is an hour to an hour and a half west of Harrisonburg. (Ignore the trail rating, I didn't ride it yet)
(You can tell a West Virginian when he tells you how LONG vs how FAR away something is...)

This trail is NOT in Virginia. It's in West Virginia, at the Spruce Knob Rec. area. Bear Hunter downhill is not for beginners, but is FUN.
