Description

This is a fun continuation of The Grinder on the other side of the road. This can be used as a connector into the Carnelian Bay neighborhood, or turn right and climb back up 16N95 to 16N74. A really fun flowing singletrack with some rocky sections.

Unfortunately motos regularly tear down the "Non-motorized use" signs in the area making navigation difficult for visitors.
