Nice trail. I went counter clockwise around this loop. Super bumpy for the first mile or so. But it gets ,icy better after that. Seems like this loop had a bit of everything. Lots of single path and narrow parts which made it fun and flowy. But itβs hard to see if anyone else will face you head on during those parts. So just be careful there. But highly recommended green trail.

Fun ride. Great for beginners. Only one or two kind of sketchy spots and only because the washes come up quick around a blind corner.

Fav trail, combined with the first leg of Sidewinder from the lot and the leg marked "connector" to make a figure 8.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
