Description

This trail is a mix of some wide open singletrack to washed-out gulleys. This trail stays on the ridgeline, mostly descending but there are a few climbs mixed in. This trail doesn't get a lot of use, so be prepared for some brushy sections and possible blow down if you hit it early in the season. And watch out for bears.

Nice views of Grandfather and even Table Rock and Hawksbill while the leaves are off the trees, but the bottom section is a washout. 13.5mi — 2h 30m
