Very loose, bench cut trail with some moon dust and quite a few switchbacks. Beautiful views of the valley below throughout the ride.

The Trail has a decent amount of short uphill sections, once you get into a good flow you'll likely find a short climb. I'd agree that the trail starts to feel a little repetitive at times, but I don't think the bottom is any more loose or exposed than the top.

The upper section until it crosses Upper Igo Ext is the best stuff. Afterwards the exposure and loose rocks increase and what starts as fast flow turns into something still fun, but also repetitive.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
