Intermediate 60% and advanced 60%, MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack, that is twisty, up and down with many short technical sections a lesser skilled rider may walk. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt mixed with rocks and there are some slickrock sections. I would say the preferred direction is counter clockwise. Also the south section of the trail is a great connector for a fun technical loop.
