Need to Know

Currently the southwest section of this trail is closed due to a landslide.

Description

This is a cool trail reminiscent of trails in West Texas. Due to its location on an early 20th-century mine, this trail more resembles desert canyon trails than those of the Appalachians.

This trail has multiple water bar jumps with included table tops and most turns are well banked. It all makes for a fast, flowy ride. The coolest parts are the views of the mine.
