      Fantastic trail! You get so much fun downhill and so many features for pretty minimal climb. This is a benchmark for what every trail should be.

      One of my favorites so far. Ridden in the recommended direction, the climb at the beginning is manageable and the descent is a blast with little drops and some exposure to keep you on your toes!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
