The trail is a short, relatively flat loop of single track, designed as gateway trail, to be as easy for new riders as possible. It starts out in a field, goes up a power line, into the woods where there are some small rocks, loops between some woods and the field a little through a rolling section that's good for pumping, then out into a field for the last bit with some fast turns. Very low consequence trail for beginners to learn how to focus on the trail. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
