Description

The ELV trail is typical of the Phil's trail system... easy blue, lots of trees and great flow. There's nothing special about ELV over other trails in the area, but they are all just really smooth and fun. A few sharp turns, but that's all to watch for, other than riders. It's easy to daydream on this one and listen to the wind through the tall pines.
