This section of trail is the longer flowing section of COD above where COD is easy or really difficult. This is a great way to climb up towards the snow park or cross over at the ranger station, grab some water, and hit Catch and Release

      Trailforks neglected to mention the very continous, janky volcanic rock gardens which would be a nasty fall. Reasonable flow but bouldery ups and downs, good sized drops all would be info TF should mention. In general I am finding TF unreliable for trail description and info as I go to different trail systems. In general if Voodoo is “black” than this section of COD is black.

      Do you like janky flat/uphill tech and absolutely zero flow? Then this trail is for you!

      Fun trail with some nice optional log rides and technical sections. A lot of pedaling but still flowy

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
