    Narrow singletrack, mostly straight, but through some gorgeous areas. Nothing bermed, no features. This is a 'blue' trail except for some very punchy climbs which are tough on an acoustic bike, good for an e-bike. Rode in mid-jan so the dirt is excellent, in summer i'm sure it's very loose.

    Trail is clear but be aware of the large amounts of poison oak that boarders the trail and hangs over in some areas
