Description

There are two distinct sections to this trail: the northern half is very easy, with little elevation change and fast compact dirt with a little sand.

After a 100' connector to the southern half of the trail, you'll find a bit rougher trail with some short steep hills and many more rocks. It's still intermediate, but tougher than the first half of the trail.

Useful to connect trails, but not a destination.
