Overview

Fun loop of singletrack with easy ups and downs and overall flowy fast trail.

Description

The trail starts off on an old road with lots of views and bird watching areas. It then transitions into the singletrack Meadowlark Loop. The trail is well-marked at the few junctions. Nothing technical.

Overall, expect fun, flowy sections of ups and downs and a few cobbled dry washes.

I am a complete amateur, there were parts that were super fun and easy and others that took my lunch. The recent rain made some parts quite overgrown. — 1h 05m
