Fun in both directions both up and down. The section north of the Gasden intersection is boring though.

      Typical Phx xc style trail. It has sections of loose rock with punchy inclines/declines. It turns into a green trail that is quite flat and nontechnical. Overall it was a fun trail. I thought it was a slightly easier than the other blues in the park.
