      Hardest trail in the system imo. Super fun but super difficult and most people will find themselves walking a few features

      NGL totally surprised at how fun this place is. If you don’t know what Cush cores are probably best to stay away. Trails are relentless with sharp rocks. Just wish I had someone to tow me in, with the drought it’s like mid fall conditions, leaves make it tuff to find the trails.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
