A somewhat technical and physically demanding trail that combines a mix of features, flow, and hills.

Fun trail, definitely a blue. There’s no hard features that require a rider to commit to.
MichaelZX5LEv
Fun trail! I wouldn’t consider this a black. There is some features but everything is pretty tame. It would be a good trail to help build confidence with small jumps and small drops.
zacklawton
Flowy with some short, punchy climbs throughout. Proceed with caution on any wooden features!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
