Description

After taking the small connector from the Hill Loop, Follow signs to the right and continue counterclockwise around the loop. This loop has a few technical steep climb options and steep rocky/wooden stair descents. All obstacles have an easy option to go around or avoid the area altogether. Great for learning how to climb on rocky technical terrain and building up your confidence on downhills.
