“A bit of a grind in either direction with loose dirt on top of medium-sized rocks.”

Description

This trail can be used to connect into or out of the trail system, linking up with Old Post Trail, and ending near Red Rock School on the other end. It's not one of my favorites in the area - with some fairly steep ups and downs, lots of 12" rock step ups and step downs, and loose soil, it's tough to keep your momentum or get in a rhythm.

It's definitely all rideable, but it's not a highlight.

This trail is a grind in the uphill direction shown, but a lot of fun as a descent. There is 1 distinct crux (a microwave-sized boulder), and 1 prolonged (~50 yards?) uphill section. Jan 7, 2018
