      Rode clockwise, taking elusion to cut back across to start and hit precipice. Challenging but super fun. As others said, be prepared to hike a bike in some sections unless you’re a chad.

      I’m not saying I didn’t have fun, but flowy is relative. There was a lot of flow, but you have to be comfortable flowing over a lot of rock (flat and bumpy and loose). The top part is lots of rolly, it was a laugh pushing my bike over the rolling boulders. I’m trying to add some pix.

      The closer loop to Elusion, is great. Fun and flowy with some good challenges.

      The outer loop is frankly a completely different trail. Chunky, ledgey, loose, big drops, a lot of hike-a-bike. It's not a Blue.

      Too bad the short loop to Elusion is so short - the further loop just isn't fun to ride with so much unrideable hiking, wouldn't do it again.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
