* Stewardship Trail *
Trail Intersection
With Access Road
|
This area was previously logged and has been replanted with "lobolly pine" trees. The access road ahead is the perfect rest point. Not only that, it's a great way to get your bearings, return to any parking area or start from another trailhead.

* Midland Mountain Trail *
Tech Section
Double "Z" Switchback
|
This was impossible. I had to walk up this one but did ride it back down and saw my life flash before me. Very steep, lots of loose rocks and the park put in these "waterbars" to stop erosion. They didn't mention that they were really stairs!!

* Midland Mountain Trail *
Harbison Bluffs
Scenic Lookout
|
Every hard-working trail ride deserves a treat. This is the top of the Harbison Bluffs overlooking the Broad River down below. I couldn't get close enough to show how steep the cliffs really are. I decided to have lunch here and enjoy the view.

* Firebreak Trail *
East Loop
Tech Section
|
This is a "sleeper" tech section along the East Firebreak trail. Throw some logs together and tease riders into thinking they can just hop them.
Of course, you go over these logs and stare into a pothole of nasty roots from these 2 trees. I had to jump over the roots from the top of the logs, or I *KNEW* I was going over the handlebars.
NOTE there's a chicken's way out on the left. Ok... I went that way first.

East Loop
Simgle Track

I thought this would be a nice photo to finish this trail ride through a great park. It was about 3:30 in the afternoon and the sun was shining through the trees while I was riding the last leg of the East Loop of the Firebreak Trail.
