Description

The lower part of this section of this trail is flowing singletrack. There are some technical sections closer to the top that are very challenging.

This is a great singletrack to tack to Goat Mountain road if you want to go up to the lookout. You can descend back down the trail or take Spring Cove Trail to the road.

Using this in Combination with Spring Cove Trail and the road you can ride this and other trails in the area like 007 or Willow Creek.
