Info on this trail from a local: In the winter each year it rains a ton and the cows get on the trails and ruin them. DO NOT RIDE DURING THIS TIME. Even early spring, the trails are still pretty bad. But sometime in April when the rain looks like it is done, some locals come out and fix the trails from the damage the cows caused. After April through early December (or first big rain storms) these trails are sick! Lots of hikers on a mild temperature weekend in the fall and spring, sometimes some cow patties. The climb is a little steep, but totally worth it. This trail can really rip. I've ridden it about 50 times and I love it. Definitely not a green trail though. It is tight single track on the descent, steep at times, and a total blast. Blue is a more accurate rating of this trail. Hopefully this helps! Just want more riders to enjoy this awesome trail!

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!

Cows, significant rain, and lack of maintenance has made this trail borderline unusable. Not worth riding
