One of the most technical trails at Oak Mountain State Park. Expect a number of very large boulder fields with multiple lines through them, as well as a few step rock rolls and drops.

Cleared of all leaves and forest debris on 12/7/23 except for the most egregious ride arounds. Main lines are in prime condition.

I rode this trail along with West Ridge this past weekend. The trail had some fun technical sections but more than anything this trail needs some loving and riding. The trail disappears in a few places and it is hard to figure out what the trail line is. I think the double black diamond rating might be a bit over the top and is probably keeping people away. Both these trails offer some great riding they just need to be ridden more.

Cool trail. Looks more like seldom used hiking path.
Black diamond really not red.
Super xc techy. All but the brst will b walking.
If u can ride this you are ready for 90% of black trails out west.
