Description

Finally, we begin to build some speed.

We have taken what we learned on the Yellow Loop and the Green Loop...and frankly, got carried away repeating all of it over and over!

This trail has fast sections with bumps, multiple high-berm switchbacks, and an assortment of bridged and hard-armored creek crossings.

On either end, you'll find connectors back to the upper loops, which ultimately lead back to the Shelter #2 trailheads.
