REVIEW
This trail can be ridden in both directions, uphill being a bit more difficult. Also the photos show the trail exit on Harper Access Road and the beginning part in my opinion is part of Escalator and not Overtime. The trail ends/starts on Lower Elevator or Harper Access Road, depending on which way you want to ride it.
Escalator has a few man made structures on it, mainly bridges over troubled waters. This trail is not as rooty as most on Burke and the singletrack is quite nice. Lots of work has gone into this trail and it shows. If you ride it from Harper Access Road, there are a couple of difficult sections to ride up but walking them won't be considered a sin. This is another great trail to practice on or end your riding day on.
