      Sections are super rocky technical. Skip this trail unless you are a skilled rider. Most of the trail is dirt, but there are several rocky sections that are long enough you dont want to be walking. OR, do this trail and learn how to ride stuff. Is a big climb getting up to this loop, big for here, and you go back down the same trail leaving.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
