Description

The B Loop is longest of the 4 stacked loops of the Highland Recreation A-B-C-D Loops and has one cutoff should you need it. It is still a long way back to the trailhead, however. For both the A and B Loops, the outbound is longer than the inbound due to the number of switchbacks.

Your time is spent navigating rocks and roots on this narrow singletrack-lovers heaven. There is plenty of off-camber trail to keep you on your toes, too. Beginners should ride this trail with other experienced riders; it is a challenging ride. The basic A/B Loop defines the character of this trail.

From the trailhead on Livingston Road, ride the A Loop (3.8 miles) & B Loop (9.7 miles) as the basic continuous trail.
