Overview

This trail has a bit of everything. It's generally a wide singletrack, with some flowing sections, but lots of rock steps.

Description

They're not large, but the rocks are slick and some are tough to climb up. Going down them is definitely easier. It ends at Chicken Point - and another great view. From there, continue on the Little Horse Trail or the Chapel Trail to make a good loop.

Don't miss the side trip to Submarine Rock Trail.

A intermediate rider should not avoid this trail - the scenery is too good to miss, and it's easy to dismount for all the short hard sections.
