      Challenging tech trail marked with lots of rock armor from mine tailings reminiscent of Rock Solid trail contracting’s work.

      Note: As of June 2025 the trail direction shown is incorrect. Descent primary trail that finishes at Hub 2.

      Thank you for making a sweet tech trail! Not a true double black though I'd say as a pro xc mtb athlete this rides on maybe the gnarlier side of black in a few spots, but nothing you can't get off and walk or stop to see and try! Amazing work.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
