Description

Strava showed a 566 ft elevation change from Gate 5 to McCrady. It has a couple of steep drops on to a bridge or boardwalk. It is full of roots in the bottom portions, which is a small portion of the overall trail. There is one VERY muddy spot after a boardwalk.

Very steep descent (or incline if you are going the other way) to a very narrow bridge, which is challenging, if on a bike
