 The rocky sections are pretty slippery right now but definitely doable.

      Super steep descents...had to stop often to put water on my brakes and boy did they sizzle! The decent to the creek and climb out are super techy with steps and lots of rock and narrow blind turns. Gorgeous scenery and some really fun parts of the trail, but definitely a tough blue trail with SO much more climb than it seems.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
