Description

Enter the trail from the pasture loop by crossing Furnace Road into Apple Orchard. Pay attention to blind curves if you enter to the left, it's easy to pick-up speed as it's mostly down along Lorton Road. The entrance to the right goes behind one of the remaining prison homes and meanders down until the climb along Lorton Road to complete the loop.
