Love this trail, cause of its sweeping turns, smooth and fun transitions.

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

Mostly narrow (24” avg) with significant sections of ruts which will present a tipping hazard for many adaptive bikes..

Not an enjoyable climb.
