Description

This trail is a mix of some wide open singletrack to washed-out gulleys. In addition, there are some pretty technical sections. It's all rideable with some skill. Be aware of tire grabbers hidden in the leaves, however.

This trail stays on the ridgeline and thus, there are some steep, punchy climbs mixed in. This trail doesn't get a lot of use, so be prepared for some brushy sections and possible blow down if you hit it early in the season.
