Description

This is a fun trail with some challenging rock sections. Depending on how recent it's received trail work, riders can expect some section of overgrown brush and should be on the lookout for fallen trees. Overall this makes for a fun descent. The trail can be used as a backdoor into Douthat State Park as it connects to Middle Mountain in the east.

Rating is only for the section from the dirt road up to Middle Mountain. Very steep. Had to hike a bike up. Beautiful though!
