Beginner 70% and intermediate 30%, 2.5 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional wide singletrack that doesn’t have much climbing but a lot of short ups and downs, it is twisty with several dry creek crossings, lots of small drops and some semi technical sections. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt mixed with rocks.

      Some easy, rideable sections but several quite challenging wash crossings (almost always dry, but technical) and short but technical climbs/descents. Not an easy loop, but you can always walk those short sections.

      Rode this trail May 2, 2023. Terrain was great for the two of us beginner/intermediate riders. Few rock gardens, short climbs, fun downhill. Beware it is popular for hikers. Would do it again.

      Rode this trail clockwise. Fun and flows real well, with a couple nice little tech ups and downs to keep my interest. A good warmup before you hit BRP and some of the other trails in the area.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
