Don't attempt as logging and zero trail maintenance has made it not rideable.

Running sweet. I cleared the stabby fallen tree near the top with my little silky. Enjoy!

Amazing trail. 1st part consists of rocky sections and chutes with were slightly slippery when we rode it. 2nd section is a lot of steep techy roots and packed dirt. 3rd section is a few little tables and doubles. Lots of spots to huck. Frigan awesome trail.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
