This shouldn't even be on this app. It is a great "Hiking Trail" in a beautiful area with some nice views but definitely not much of a mtb trail

There is an off map trail here that runs down from the vista to the neighborhood below. It's full of groomed berms, small kickers, and amazing dirt.

“A great loop with steep climbs, some singletrack, some fire road and a little bit of road. ”
