Trail Overview
Easternmost trail that runs between Middle Waddell, the Southernmost staging area, and Rock Candy, the Northernmost staging area. The trail runs through fast flowy wooded sections, along with up and down switchbacks in the trees and out in the clear cuts. The trail is mostly composed of clay dirt, with brick pavers set into some higher erosion areas. There are clear cuts that offer great views South and trail can be connected to several others to increase your ride time. It's best on a dirt bike but can be ridden on a quad though expect it to be tight in spots. Clay can be extremely slick during the wet months or after rain, which greatly increases the trail's difficulty overall.
