The White Twister winds through the mountains and alongside Stonewall Creek, and boasts a few challenging climbs. The trail has been nicknamed "the roller coaster trail" due to the numerous rolling areas. It travels through Fern Valley and along Root Ridge before connecting to the old railroad bed. The trail runs 1/2 mile in the old railroad bed and back to the beginning. For a more challenging ride, do it backwards. Directions to the White Twister are the same as Stonewall. |
