 There is a downed tree across the trail about 200 yards after the trail splits off from the Lawrence Creek Trail. Don’t come in too hot otherwise you gonna get drilled.

 I did submit a Trail Report since there is too much foliage along the DH to navigate. Needs some maintenance, IMO. Can be a safety issue. I had to slow down and stop to navigate before proceeding in these sections.

 Upper entrance to the trail isn't well marked so don't blast down Lawrence Creek without looking right. Should be downhill only trail -- although with all the fire road, I don't know why any singletrack would be taken uphill here at Skeggs. This is a fun singletrack with flow and a few jumps/drops, with a tight turn or two. It's a little less traveled, so there's a few branches that may cut you.

 The upper part to Steam Donkey is fun, fun, fun. My 11 year old son developed his skills riding this to Steam Donkey (upper only) to Gordon Mill up. It's a great ~20 minute loop that isn't too technical but just enough variety to learn skills and have fun. Make some noise on blind turns since this is a well hiked trail. More experienced riders will enjoy taking this trail at speed and mastering the switchbacks.

 This is a hidden, albeit short gem. Fun singletrack switchbacks. A bit tight turning to develop the intermediate riders. I would ride this only downhill and connect to ride Gordon Mill up.

 Flowy and good for connecting to Blue Blossom. Yeah there’s one blind steep climb. Gravel bike can do this too.

 The dirt climbing up is a bit loose and with the brake checks , it makes a techy climb a bit harder. All in all, a great way to get the heartrate going

 Really nice intermediate trail with some flowy parts, but also some blind corners to watch out for. A few tight switchbacks earn it a blue rating.

 Good in both directions. Fun techy climb, or fun fast switchbacky descent.

 This map is slightly incorrect. Once Spring Board intersects with Blue Blossom, it becomes Spring Board trail. It's pretty obvious when you're at the end of Blue Blossom as Spring Board is a fire road, but still...

 Short, narrow singletrack with switchbacks to climb as a connector to other trails. Wish it were longer.
