Loretta Lane

Loretta Lane is a straight-through connector linking Crossover to Trouble and finishing at the top of Screen Door, making it the easiest in-and-out route for the Onion Patch area. Expect a rough, slow crawl over loose, chunky limestone rock the size of footballs and volleyballs. You will encounter a few steep hills with polished, 1-foot limestone ledges, mild off camber leans, and shallow mudholes in the low-laying midpoint. Southbound is slightly tougher since you’ll be climbing the steeper hill near the north end. Lockers help but aren’t required. Overall, it’s a solid moderate trail for high-clearance 4x4s that rewards careful line choice without demanding heavy modifications.
