Ridable in both directions depends if you want to climb a gnarly trail and descend a flowy trail or vise versa

If you are descending this trail it's tempting to bomb the whole thing but the tight, flat turns will send you skidding into the woods, so keep a eye out.

If you are climbing this trail prepare for steep not-so-technical climbing. It's also hard to find so keep straight on the trail from snow school (the one with all the signs about historical stuff) and stare into the woods on your left as you ride.
