Year Opened2020
Very fun section with a set of optional drops of varying sizes and some great berms that lead to an optional gap jump. This trail is fun for almost anyone Ride within your limits and don't hit any jumps or drops that you are not ready for. This trail can get very dusty but it is definitely worth checking out!

I loved this ride option in late June, but now it’s so chewed up with hard ridges and soft banks - all covered with chalk so you can’t tell which is which. The banked corners give way in the middle and even the straight sections are deceiving as you try and guess what will grab your tire. Maybe some rain will tighten it up but for now you can’t really let your bike flow.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
