Super awesome trail great for doing hot laps if you climb up lunar ride. Definetly black diamond not quite double black but pretty tuff. If you live in southern Utah and haven’t ridden at east zion yet you definitely should
Wildmesa
Amazing build, fun drops, skinny log jump. Just goes by too quick!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
