Description

This awesome ridgeline begins with doubletrack just north of Briery Branch Gap and descends east towards the Hone Quarry Recreation Area. This ridge has several trail intersections. First, Mines Run Trail breaks south back towards Route 257. Second, a screaming descent down Big Hollow Trail. After ripping some of the best sections of the ridge singletrack, the trail ends at the Heartbreak Trail intersection which has some of the most technical rocky terrain to the West of Harrisonburg.
