This has to be one of my favorite blue trails Ive ever ridden. You can haul ass at all of these features and treat it like a black trail, all the burns catch you really nice. The optional rocks drops are all smooth. Huge props to the trail builders. Scenic tooπ€π€π€

Super fun trail! Stopped by Richfield on our way home from Moab, and this trail system is amazing! We climbed Kiln-it>CCC Road and then dropped Faulty>Cairn-Age. Flowy trail without being overbuilt. Most turns are well bermed, the dirt is really solid. Some rock drops, all rollable. There are some side hits as well that are fully optional. I'd consider myself an intermediate rider, and this trail was a total blast!
