Beware of the one mudspot. It is the stickiest mud I have ever encountered!

      Be careful on the descent to Bowfield. There is significant erosion from the recent heavy rains, including a couple collapsed trail sections near the top and a large sink hole in the middle of the trail at the bottom. Easy enough to steer around when going slow on the climb, but could ruin your day if bombing down. .

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
