About This Trail

Imported description

The trail is difficult because of the section between 3 and 4 where the trail goes straight up the ridgeline. After 2.5 miles of climbing, the grade feels like it's in the 30's and 40's. It is not that easy to get down from this section. The entire course is forested and there are no views on the trail. It would be a good idea to hike it as a hard walk in the woods or just for the work out or training.
