Closed to cyclists December 15 to April 15.

Description

Branch off connector from School House Rock to World's Greatest. This trail is a great way to climb to or to finish a trip on World's Greatest.

The trail is a consistent climb with turns that flow back and forth. There are only a few sections toward the top that may require a short walk. There are also only a couple of switchbacks, otherwise the trail weaves back and forth slightly, but in general it is a straight shot.

Easy to find the trail sign from School House Rock and the top near the end of World's Greatest. If you continue west from the top, the trail continues down to the Tick Alley trailhead.

Someone has written on the trail sign - at the junction of Schoolhouse Rock and Elmer's - that the trail is Downhill Only. That is not true - feel free to ignore until the writing can be painted over. Probably some disgruntled Strava user trying to beat their downhill record (I use Strava, but am not a D**K about it).
