Descended this as a loop after climbing big top. Great loop. Carnie has varying character, rolls up and down quite a bit even though it trends down. Some techy bits, some bench cut, some nice fast flow

We out and backed this trail. Was a great climb from the farm and had some fun techy rock bits. The descent was really nice as well. Pretty chill, nothing crazy, just fun and flowy.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
