Description

In the generations of the trails of Camp Robinson, Merlin is probably second generation and is named after Basil's dog Merlin who ran many miles on the trails and collected countless turtles. This trail is challenging singletrack and traces the side of the ridge line. There are few challenging switchbacks that take a few times to master for most. Do not attempt Merlin unless you are physically fit and confident on your bike.
