Description

This western access trail starts at an intersection with the Red Trail. The trail begins as singletrack and pitches sharply uphill initially, passes Blue Trail, and then levels off into doubletrack. Continue north and pass Green Trail - Red Maple Swamp, Yellow Trail - Pine Mountain, and Blue Spur in somewhat rapid succession on your left, right, and left again as you stride along this wide, easy lane.
