Description

Notch begins with a quick descent from the Foy's Overlook. The last half mile has tight turns and a few easy rock obstacles. It also comes with great views of Foy's Lake at every turn and a lookout.

The lower Notch is fast flow trail. The switchbacks aren't banked, but you can still hold some great speed throughout the entire run.

The upper section of the Notch Trail has many great views. One of a few good spots to see Foys Lake.
