Likely a hiking trail initially.

For mountain bikers it's a descent with some tight corners. Best ridden early or late season to avoid foliage.
Trail rated black mainly due to steepness in sections.

Snow shoes - if ascending, short enough may be nice calf workout, or use heel lifts to make easier.
