        This is very similar to the start, buff and smooth singletrack. This section includes the little intermediate cutoff section to the intersection and then straight onto the finish. The last little straightaway can be pretty fast with a...
        95 3.6 1 mile 83 ft 1,179
        This trail is marked as intermediate, but I think that is relative to the trail system. It really lands more in between easy and intermediate on account of some fast sections and a few quick turns with some rooty areas. But most the...
        75 3.3 3,510 ft 18 ft 1,155
        Not sure if this really should be blue, it is buff and a fast return. If you pedal hard through the transitions and little ups, you can get back fast.
        100 2.5 1,309 ft 12 ft 1,132
        Butter smooth with a little bump on the way down. This is the main one-way entrance to the trail system that takes you across a meadow and then hits a fork. Take the left into the forest to start on the intermediate trail or loop it...

        This is the , but I think it is relative to this trail system. The majority of the trail itself is actually easy, with a little bit of roots and a few spots that are difficult to get over. The expert designation probably comes from a...
        45 5.0 308 ft 3 ft 897
        High narrow skinny. If you are clipped in and fall, it could be a nasty hit to your body and arms. Fun feature though, that you can loop multiple times if you like.
        40 0.0 371 ft 0 ft 751
        Maybe not double black diamond, but if you don't take the cheater line this rocky sections is really difficult to climb. You need good cardio to punch it, and you need to clear your pedals of the rocks
        65 4.0 2,881 ft 45 ft 712
        You can short circuit the , or continue to do this little extension. This trail is very typical of all the easiest parts of the and similar to the intermediate loop. Don't miss the cool little optional line at the end. You can really...
