Overview

This trail links together Last Call to Trent to Chinkapin Oak to a short section of Terrapin Station to Last Call for a combined loop just over four miles long.

Description

The first mile on Last Call warms you (and your gear-shifting fingers) up just enough to take on the grueling—but satisfying—climb to the top via Trent Trail. Once you are sufficiently worked, enjoy the downhill ride through techy rock sections, berms, and some fun pumptrack via Chinkapin Oak—but watch for the big drop! Finish on Terrapin Station and Last Call.
