There used to be a race here and many of the trail markings are still there but a lot of washout has happened and you'll need to look for the newer connecting single track for the area Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
