      If someone is able to check on this trail that would be great. I hiked it after the atmospheric river but it needs to be checked after the wind storm for downed trees.

      Super chunky, super techy, and super tight. Fun in it's own way. Want to be able to clean the whole thing one day.

      Easier than Nescafé but still very technical. Ride it with confidence and you’ll enjoy it. Tentative black diamond trail riders will find it hard.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
