This really is a great climbing trail. Not too difficult, and a lot of the trail is deep through the trees with widened turns so that you can keep your uphill cadence consistent. This trail is commonly used as a climbing trail to get to some of the better downhill oriented trails.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Only applies to upper portion of trail.

Tread width is 12 to 22 inches wide. Iā€™m pretty sure that I never had all three wheels on the trail surface! Mostly on camber, some bench hill riding, One or two spots with some mild exposure.

There is a 29 inch wide gap between two trees. Not possible with a wider bike.
