This trail has the feeling of an all mountain trail with an overall advanced rating with some future double black options. Long turns, open forest leads to large boulders and optional rock drops. One stream crossing and after crossing the SHT, Boot leads to a spectacular view before descending into two old quarries. These are rocky, but an advanced line is maintainable. The end of the trail continues through open forest and has one final rock roll leading to the DWP.

      Woah! That's some old school jank! Definitely a bit gnarly in the middle portion, commiting line choice is only one option and higher risk/consequence

      Overal, this is a little bit easier than some other black trails at Spirit or in town.
      Most of the trail is more of a technical blue, with some short sections that create the black rating.
      So, if you are riding blue trails and looking for something less flow trail style, more natural/old school, give this a shot and just walk the features you don’t feel like riding, it won’t be many.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
