Description

This trail begins at the intersection of Cooka's Loop, and climbs along the ridge to the West for several miles. The are several steep climbs, but they are short, and there are a few short technical sections of sandy and rock filled trail, but they are also short.

A few sections on the ridge top have some exposure, so pay attention, but overall, this is a great flowy singletrack as an out and back, or part of the larger loop.
