TTFs on TrailBerm, Drop, Jump, Gap Jump, Other
This trail has been significantly damaged by the Carr Fire. The wooded features have been destroyed. The jumps, berms and rock gardens are still there but significant erosion issues are prevalent throughout. The trail is still a good option for linking adjacent trails on a longer ride.
