Description

Ring Loop is a wide, flat loop that connects all the other Tolkien Trails together. It has several short, 5 foot wide arched bridges, and a short ground level boardwalk, a meadow crossing, and lots of lowland forest.

"One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."
