Description

The Tech Loop no longer connects to the Middle Third at the Service Street but now can be accessed off of the Sugar Creek Greenway. Due to the greenway construction, this section has been shortened and rerouted, but all of the original challenge still remains. This section of trail has lots of rock gardens, a few wooden features, and a big wooden ledge drop. Unfortunately, the concrete halfpipe which ran parallel to Tyvola is no longer part of the trail.
