This is a super smooth trail with a small drop to bypass a small rock garden and also a little rock jump. Its one of my favorites so far and a very enjoyable ride for all skill levels.

Not a very difficult trail but i found it fun and flowing
TheMountainz
Fun trail but was over-hyped imo. I liked Hemlock more.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
