Perfect for a mid morning. Going up the east ridge and down the west is the easier route. the west gets steep and technical on it's lower parts.

a tree is down around the middle of the trail but fellow riders have cut a detour around the tree. Aside from that the trail is nice and soft. Washboards are softened
