        Definitely not a black diamond-rated trail. It is smooth, non-technical with zero features.

        Trail to get to the old fire lookout. Busier with hiker traffic than the others.

        I only rode this from Nelson Ridge to Lookout Peak and back down. There was a downed tree about 200 yards up from Nelson, but everything else was rideable. Coming back down was a blast.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
