This trail is starting to gain lots of use as its popularity with riders from NC/SC/VA has exploded. Ride this loop trail counter-clockwise for lots of tight, fast, downhill single track. There are two stream crossings, three fairly long, steep climbs ranging from 1/4 to 3/4 miles, and lots of cool places to just get off the bike and relax. Be on the lookout for fallen trees, blind curves, and other bikers coming in the opposite direction. This can be a dangerous trail as many of the fast downhill sections offer the least visibility for upcoming obstacles and other riders.
