Description

This trail is a mellow dirt trail that's main purpose is to provide access to many of the other excellent trails in the vicinity, such as Shane's Loop, Bucktail Trail, and Three Bears. There are many variations and intersecting trails to explore.

The hillsides along this trail seem to be especially dense with wildflowers in the Spring, which is reason enough to pedal this trail during the month of May.
