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.
