    Drop, Rock Face

Steep trail with a couple of rocky lines. Challenging sections and knarley. Awkward flow. You will be beaten up but have smile on your face once ridden.

 Thin tree wedged across the trail after the steep descent and right after the 1st hairpin. Will need a saw, but easy to climb over for now

      This is seriously awesome if you like the slow tech. Great on a modern enduro MTB.

      Old school black diamond. Worth it if you like tech flow.
