Description

This portion of the loop is slightly easier than the Lower Long Branch Loop. There are multiple climbs and descents, plus a fairly good view making for a short but enjoyable ride.

This trail is multi-directional - there is no recommended direction, so look for other riders, hikers, and runners, and yield to anybody who is climbing!
