Description

This trail is similar to many of the trails in the Buffalo Creek network. It's mostly flowy, dry, somewhat sandy singletrack. There aren't any major climbs or steep descents or difficult features, but it's enjoyable trail, and the fun increases as speed increases!

A killer long run back down to Buff Creek Rd. Loose and drifty with clear sight lines. Wish it were even longer.
