I had to search for it a few+ weeks back. If you didn't know it was there you'd roll right by to "Woods Trail". Maybe it has been connected by now? If you rode a difficult, sandy, tight trail that had a banked turn with a 180 degree switchback not long after it then you're in the right place. The trail also spits you out right about where you went into it.

I hope to mark it a little clearer on tomorrows workday.  There is some orange ribbons pointing the way, but a little off to the side.  There is some two track that heads that way.

Found it today, rode it......It will be great at some point in the near future.  That turnaround is tricky. It will probably be better when it is not as soft. I love those 180 doodads!

Towards the end of Swamp Thing you come to a grassy area maybe 50 yards before you get to Woods trail, Gary's loop is on your left, if you're not paying attention you'll fly right by it. The entrance is marked with orange flags on the ground. If you get to the Woods trail entrance and haven't seen Gary's loop turn around and keep looking right for the orange flags.
G's loop is getting better, I was able to clean it this past weekend but watch out for the switch back at the top of the hill. Long way down, you'll see what I mean.

Just wanted to send a "shout out" to all SWAMPERS who volunteered time and worked to help finish Garry's Loop. I rode it yesterday (like 4x back-to-back) and I really dig it! G's loop is yet another great addition to Boyette.

It's an awesome trail. If you haven't ridden it yet go do few laps in and help ride it in.

No, the intermediate goes right by that trail.

We finalized this trail today.  It is all complete and ready to be packed in from lots of bike tires.  The exit portion should prove to be a fun addition.

Wow, you guys did a lot of work today!!!!! After seeing the workforce leave as I arrived Garry told me of what to expect. Boyette is becoming MTB Mecca, I rode the new Big Drop :o Garrys loop and Canyon all for the first time. With some rain and traffic these are going to be amazing additions to an already great series of trails.
