Official trail built by Bachtel-Biker [https://bachtel-biker.clubdesk.com/bachtel-trail]

This trail is aimed at intermediate to advanced riders. Beginners will struggle and might walk the steeper sections. The trail is steeper at the top but also has some flat parts in the middle and lower part. It is a fairly twisty and tight trail. Features are deep ruts, several stump drops, exposed roots, off-camber sections, some shaped berms and sketchy jumps.

Dont ride it in the rain or snow as this will lead to further erosion and damage the trail.
