Short but fun loop among the trees. Trails were built from the ground up with sustainability in mind so they drain well. There are some rocks but nothing like areas of Purgatory. This would be a good route for someone new to mountain biking who has done a couple of off road green trails already. Don't let the blue rating scare you. The trails are rated blue due to some areas on each trail that have bigger rocks. Most are avoidable but the ones that aren't, are easily walked for those less experienced.
