This trail rules Wear pants and a long sleeve shirt for the bush tunnels, and don't go over the edge when it gets exposed and you're ripping it a touch too fast.

All ridable as of today. I decided to walk one narrow section with a few tights turns in a drainage area. A few loose blind corners with severe consequences, this was my first time down and took it pretty easy until I got lower and the exposure decreased. Extremely well built trail especially considering the lack of similar trails in the area. Not going to waste my time with El Prieto anymore! Big props to the builders/maintainers.

Passable all the way down. Two walk sections due to washouts. Slightly overgrown but no trees or branches down. Nicely maintained berms and super fun. Thank you trail crews.

Make sure you know what you’re getting into before going, look up some YouTube videos. If you are at that level of skill it’s fun and well maintained.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
