      One of my favorite trails In The area. Super fun

      This trail has rock rolls, berms, jumps, drops and many other challenging obstacles that could be dangerous if you are inexperienced. Most of the tougher features have ride-arounds, but the overall trail is definitely black. This is a fun and well-built trail!

      A really fun trail that keeps you on your toes but is not a double black, not even close.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
