High Point
Fat bike only to avoid damaging the soft trail. A very cool, slow, methodical, techy, challenging trail that goes through sandy washes, up and down punchy climbs, tight corners, very narrow singletrack. No dabbing or hike a bike, this is a pedal only trail. This would be considered a black diamond loop. Very very narrow trail. A trail to use all your skills from pedal strokes to tracking slow balance moves.
