Awesome trail, with some fun terrain. The top part has has the waterfall section that is a fun rough rock descent that takes some skill, while the bottom section has a bunch of jump lines and optional gaps.

 Maybe still tougher than normal but it was pretty clear and not as rough as I expected it to be. But I am a newbie to the area.
