Summary:
Very good, short climb for the amount of downhill/flat. Almost all
of downhill is ridge riding, and is extremely rooty and rocky. 15
mph is max suggested speed. I had a friend go off the side from
hitting a root wrong and it was quite a fall down the mountain.
Other than that, be careful, and its a great ride!!

Recommended Route:
start trail at back end of campground and finish at ampetheatre
parking.

Summary:
Nice moderate climb followed by an awesome singletrack section through a rhodedendron tunnel. Some very steep technical sections. Too short, though. A good ride to squeeze in when you don't have lots of time.

Summary:
Great little ride. This was the last trail I got to do before I (sadly) had to head back to the flat land. The counterclockwise loop is just enough of a burning climb. The top section reminds of a mini Laurel Mountain. Riding right on the edge of a drop off with the rhododendoron (sp) tunnels. Combine this ride with Sycamore and you have a full morning of fun.

Recommended Route:
Ride it clockwise for a gradual climb and bomber downhill, or counterclockwise for the steeper climb.

Check out Sycamore Cove across the highway.
