I would not enjoy climbing this trail as it has technical sections and a ton of baby heads. Going down was a blast though!

Good little cross country climb up trail. And coming back on it is actually pretty dang fun. I would really say it's a green beginner. Yes some little baby had rocks all over that times but nothing hard at all. Use this trail to connect to a variety of others.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
