      If you're into rattly ups and downs, go for it. If you want flowy/jumps check out the line near the end of the trail only.

      Awesome trail. Lots of gnar and couple small drop offs. Climbs are tricky because of all the roots. Amazing views through the trail. Great challange.

      Ups, downs and roots, good times! Not every trail needs to be smooth and bermed, fun tech downhill. Would be scary going fast on of it was wet.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
