Little overgrown. Last 300m or so very eroded and janky. Adds to the fun!

      The last part is pretty much all overgrown now. Keep going along Bucky’s westbound or bring a chainsaw.

      Nice long trail! The last few hundred meters very janky and eroded. Adds to the fun! Definitely all doable and fun!

      This trail is rocky as hell. It is in worse condition than the other trails in the area. There’s a few cool features including a big rock roll. But mainly it’s the sharp craggy rocks.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
