About This Trail

Imported description

It is like a road and a trail like the firelanes that traverse a lot of Forest Park. The elevation changes are rapid at times due to the ridge passing down to the highway. The trail is covered with Gravel and it can be hard to walk in rain. It appears to be good for mountain biking, but it is steep on the way up. The road passed through the forest with all of the sword ferns. The trail is full of flowers, as evidenced by the under growth.
