      Probably 1 of my fav trails ever. Has steeps, lose rocks, some stunts left & a rock face! Caution cuz I saw a rattlesnake on the top of the rock face on the run in.

      As others have said this trail is mostly a single black but a chunky steep section with a few turns in it earns it a double black rating.
      There are three sections with rock features which depending on line choice can be anywhere from blue to 'chill double black' difficultly.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
