“The most developed trail that isn't overly difficult, but berms allow for speed if desired. ”

Description

There is a lot of construction on this part of the trail so expect several changes from original write up. This can be done from the parking lot at the Sugar Maple Trailhead or the Reservoir Trailhead. Also close to the scenic Flag Rock, so check that out if you haven't seen it.

There are several berms in the switchbacks that can create some speed if wanted. This crosses the Reservoir Trail, so keep that in mind.
