      Fun trail with a good variety of tech and plenty of off-camber riding. Recommend CW as shown; CCW will be quite a bit more difficult if looking for a challenge (though easier to access).

      This is a beautiful, fun trail, with lots of off camber slickrock. Because of that, and some exposure, I would consider this a black trail. It's much more challenging than the nearby blue trail, Del Sol.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
