 Apple Maps has incorrect geometry. I've submitted a report, but they have no way to provide new coordinates.

      A fun ride. Came from the visitor center end so was a fast downhill ride. The trail was in good shape and dry.

      Snow is clear. Trail is damp and running very well.

      This is an XC trail, but a pretty fun one. Nothing too challenging, a couple of rocky lava sections which are easily negotiable. Easily doable on a hardtail bike. I did find myself wishing for a more sustained downhill, but this is a good one to bring beginners to. More advanced riders will want something meatier after a couple sessions.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
