Description

This mostly singletrack trail allows horseback and mountain bike use. It does meander though a large part of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest. This allows hikers to join together a variety of other foot paths into a single route. Many loop options exist, or create an out-and-back to a scenic destination.
