It’s a technical and challenging trail. You cannot get lost if you are using Trailforks. I enjoyed the challenges.

      Ride counter clock wise no signage but many trails circling at different levels. Loose rocks..Not 2 out of 10

      Seems like there's more baby head rocks after the last rains. The harder sections seem easier, and some of the easier sections are becoming more difficult.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
