Rode in August 2025. Super loose but extremely fun . Fun rock features. Non stop Drops, a root drop challenging, two long rock chutes, a wooden drop. Extremely cool trail and worth hitting if you’re in area if you’re a very experienced down hiller. This trail is not easy and you need good tires and brakes. Even walking the bike down some of the features is hard because it has the kitty litter gravel and super steep. Ride it out !!

Super loose oct 2023. Im sure its a lot more fun after a rain, just hard to stay on any line with how much I was sliding around.

After rain it is funner than when it is dry.
