As a descent, it is ok. Kind of trail you will likely ride when you’re just looking to venture off the beaten path a bit, or have exhausted the more popular trails. Solid for the difficulty level. Fair amount of poison oak on the wooded start of the trail. Once out of the forest you’ll be riding on a trail largely resembling a gravel path comprised of loose fist-sized rock. Not the sort of terrain you can carry much speed, as there is no way to corner quickly on this sort of rubble. Nice views, a bit of an adventure, and likely not a soul to see on the trail will leave some happy, and others cursing. Probably won’t ride it again, but glad I did it once.

We just have one or two things to say. A) turn around. This is not a biking trail. It’s not a blue, it’s not a black, it’s a biking trail or a great trail lace to walk your bike. Labrynth is difficult but it’s a biking trail. You’re much better off taking labyrinth, there’s some flowy sections there.
B) if you like poison ivy take this trail.
Views are breathtaking!

We hiked this to scout it out before riding it and I definitely wouldn't consider riding up it. Chunky, rocky, and steep don't do it justice. Some people might like riding down it, but it didn't even look like a great way down. The road to the east of Catherine (not currently shown as a trail on Trailforks) can be ridden up, but it is long and pretty steep and is only recommended for the strong.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
