Went west side of the loop from north to south then east side from south to north. I think it would have been better to go the other way around.

Nice trail that connects to others - mostly flat and rock free, but some steeper sections with larger rocks to keep it interesting. 2.5mi — 0h 20m

The scenery is awesome on upper Timber Trail, but you better get off your bike first before looking at it.
