The western end is a gravel path.
I think I'm sold on the whole low-trail thing for my typical kind of riding these days, with a moderate front load. Starting a turn is more intuitive, and I don't feel like I'm going to fall over when banking heavily on a tight turn. However, maintaing a straight line also takes less effort on my part. Pedaling out of the saddle with a lot of weight is easy, too.
Whenever I ride a mid–high trail bike (55-70mm of trail) without a front load, I feel uneasy and that I have to babysit it when going straight, and I avoid taking tight turns because I feel like I'm going to fall over. Adding some load up front takes care of the first problem, but not the second. Pedaling out of the saddle with a lot of weight isn't particularly difficult, but isn't as easy as above.

Also, if you're a fellow #darktable user, do fill it in as an option in the raw processing form.
This was the first image that came to mind that matched their theme of "perspective" -- do share your own too!

Due to time constraints, I decided to turn back here.
