Friendly trail that is ridden in both directions, but was originally built to create another uphill trail riding alternative to add to the Honey- Shasta ascent option.

      Riding down, this is a fun, slightly technical blue trail. Heading up, it's a pretty hard and technical climb. More like a black for the climb. The road is much, much easier!

      To clarify I entered from North access pt

      Not really a green trail. Pretty technical at the beginning. Had to reverse course so not sure what rest is like. I entered from rail trail
