Description

Like much of West Magnolia, a once deep forest trail is now wide open. This trail is a short climb up, and a corresponding small descent. The only benefit to the deforestation is that the views are now expansive.

The trail still flows pretty well, and is a fun one to ride fast, though it's a bit loose and dry.

This used to be such a nice forested trail... pine bark beetles killed it all.
