Great addition to ride before the Ridgeline DH. This loop is a solid, steady climb followed by a fun downhill. A little variety from Ridgeline which adds more fun on top of what's already awesome in that corner of DuPont State Forest.

Fun trail. I would suggest only doing it counter clockwise, which would be a right turn at the trailhead. the trail ends with an awesome, super fast decent, and then connects to ridgeline trail. makes for a fun couple miles.
| ThankGreat singletrack loop that provides some bonus elevation for the Ridgeline descent.
| ThankBeautiful loop. You can do it each direction and have fun. If you want a longer descent but more leveled, do it clockwise. If you want a short, steep, and fast descend, do it counter-clockwise. This is the very top of the mountain. Some nice views but most are blocked by trees. You gotta add this to your ridgeline loop.
| ThankVery Fun in both directions, but particularly clockwise as the penultimate loop of any ride feeding into Ridge Line
| ThankGreat trail with nice flow . There is one off camber rock that might pose some issues if you ride the trail counter-clockwise.
