Great two flavors trail with jumps and some big optional gaps. Flows well and is fast from the top, then gets chunky a bit after crossing Highway. The trail climbs after the rocks near Wilkes Wood before descending on a moderate grade, gradually steepening with more airtime options. After one last easy climb, the final descent contains the biggest features on the trail, with numerous step downs, the biggest of which is the rock drop under the power lines, to a large step-up. More flow after these features, before the trail ends, intersecting with the upper part of Ida May.
