Description

Look for the trail dropping off the service road just east of the intersection of Gold Lakes & Chapman Rd. Turn left and ride downhill looking for the trail on the right.

The ride is pure bliss through open woodland on a fast, but winding delight. The trail terminates at the corner of Highway 89 & Gold Lakes Highway.

(Note: there is another off-shoot to the east called Phil's Loop that may be equally fun!)
