Tree down near the top by the kvr by Scarlett. Have to walk through the bush a bit to get around it, trail blocked.

Great till about 500m before Lookout, mushy snow on the ground, needs another week or two to melt.

I'd rate this as blue. Easy smooth surface, but it's got some steep grades that definitely aren't suitable for beginners

Great trail. Best ridden downhill from the start at pink highway. Lots of fun slickrock sections with a few small drops.
