Description

The best direction for this trail is from Belcher Hill to Longhorn.

The trail starts with fast singletrack and water bars to negotiate along the way. Don't miss the sweet rock drop. Let your rear tire slide out on a tight water bar to head into the meadow section for more fast flowy singletrack.

After a stream crossing and a few technical rock garden climbs, you'll meet up with Longhorn trail.
