Description

One entrance\exit, so feel free to pick either direction for this loop. The hills come one after another but aren't too extreme. This section is a pretty good workout to get the heart going.

Flora & Fauna

Many species of birds, wildflowers, and even an occasional deer looking for a nearby water source.
