The 'stache is a fast and steep trail that follows a fall line with natural granite slabs, rock gardens and tons of sweeping views. The trail maintains a natural feel as you roll steep slabs and an off camber rut line finishes out the ride. This is one of the can't-miss lines in South Rutherford along with other classics such as Whiskey in the Jar or PHD.

Description

The top of the trail can be accessed via the South Rutherford gravel road climb and the trail ends just a short pedal from the parking lot.

Shuttling this trail is possible assuming the gravel road is open.
