Description

Winner of a 2012 Flow Country Trail Award. This is a must-do while riding Cuyuna. As you ride uphill catch a glimpse the flowing downhill sweeps waiting for you. Tackling the climb, full of views overlooking Huntington Mine Lake. Group rides often meet at the top, take a breathe and a picture before starting the downhill. Weeeee!
