Description

Starting from a fork in the Foresthill Divide Trail, this trail continues downhill along narrow, smooth singletrack with a short climb in the middle and more gradual downhill back to Lower Clementine Rd. This one is a blast!

Took it out and back to and from Forresthill loop. After 14 miles the ride back wasn't bad when the legs are burning.
