Description

The Advanced Loop (red signs) is accessed via the Beginner Loop (white signs) and Intermediate Trail (yellow signs). This is the most interesting section of the ride, and has several large rocks, logs, whoops and other obstacles. There are two very short side loops marked "more difficult" with tough climbing obstacles that are fun to try several times. The Advanced Loop is around four miles long and gets more challenging as you get further away from the parking lot.

Little river. Pretty scenery and technically easy. Slow at times which can be boring unless you are looking for a quite-secluded trail to relax

This was one trail I did not like. Not flowy lots of roots. Good place to practice your uphill strength.
