Need to Know

Updated Fall '22 by Rock Solid in partnership with CORP! There are several cool features that can be seen from this trail, including a series of rock walls from when the area was inhabited and farmed.

Description

Start at the MTB trailhead, cross the hiking/ski trail and follow the signs around to the first split. Turning left to return to the trailhead will allow you to complete the shortest loop, 0.85 miles. Turning right will put you on a short segment of 2-way trail that crosses a ski trail, then comes to another intersection. Left goes against the preferred direction of travel. A right turn takes you down the inside of a beautiful ravine. Cross the ski trail again, and come to the next intersection. Right takes you on the second loop for another 0.85 miles, and back toward the trailhead. Foreward takes you into the third loop, adding 3 miles to your ride. This is also a way to access the intermediate/expert loop Holy Schist.
