Description
This is a great trail with one difficult hill just before the Wilson Road Trailhead. Many great views and mostly shaded trail with gravel and dirt.
I started at Willow Point Cutoff Trailhead and headed to Wilson Road Trailhead on Big Way Trail. This is a great trail for multiple activities such as hiking, cycling, driving golf carts, and horseback riding. I was overwhelmed trying to decide on a loop but ultimately decided to go on this trail as it travels through the heart of the trail system. I simply arranged a ride ahead of time back to my starting point.
