Hm, interesting. Dauset Trails, Blankets Creek, & the GA International Horse Park are directional for sure, & I'm pretty sure Big Creek & Yellow River are as well. Those are a few of the more popular trails in the Atlanta metro area. Interesting that this seems to be a trait specific to my area

I prefer the system at Blankets Creek the most, which is counter-clockwise Tues, Thurs, & Sat; clockwise Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri. http://www.sorbawoodstock.org/storag...-Trail_Map.pdf

I guess the Atlanta area is weird for mountain biking, because we also have a fair amount a MTB-only trails, which I understand is not so common in other places. (again, people don't always follow these rules, but they are there)

FWIW, I'd give up the peace of mind of directional trails in a heartbeat for some of the sweet singletrack in Sedona.
