Description

Not quite flat so it isn't a a green trail but it is generally smooth with few obstacles. Grades are generally gentle with possibly one steeper section that a beginner can walk before returning to the fun.

Great as a singletrack connector to the rest of the system (completing a full loop without any doublebacks) or use it to connect to the widetrack system.

Not much flat singletrack out here, so this might be the first option after folks are comfortable with the grades found on the widetrack. Almost two miles of trail, with good sight lines to bikers or hikers ahead. Turn around anytime to quit early since continuing is only going to take you farther into the system.
