NE view from the over look on the paved trail. (100< meters from entrances to River Bluff Trail).

After starting out with some fun switchbacks, this is one of the more technical short sections.

Biting into some rocky terrain. This portion of the trail features some great rock bed segments which demand your focus. It's certainly not the most rugged terrain, but not the right trail if you're looking for a relaxed ride.
