If you mean that the traffic will traverse the links between switch one and
switch 2, no, it will not.

If the root for the VLAN in question is in the core and the hosts
communicating with each other are on switches 1 and 2, the frame will travel
through cores 1 and 2.

hi all,

topology

core1 --- channel to c2
link
switch1
link
switch2
link
core2 --- channel to c1

suppose i take two switches, each with a trunk to 1 core switch and a link
between them.
the vlan's spanning-trees are tuned as primary and secondary on each core.
there is also an etherchannel between the 2 core's

suppose a host on switch2 needs to send a frame to a vlan tuned for primary
on core1.
and the opposite as well.

traffic should follow the link between the 2 switches right?
