Starts out very easy and progressively gets harder as you go clockwise. Lots of variety.

This is a great trail I frequently incorporate into my rides. The final descent on Chunky Monkey is OK, but a bit loose. I prefer to skip the last bit and just climb up and over the saddle on Rocky Road to enjoy the fun descent on the other side. Overall not a black, mostly blue.

Super easy, should be a blue/ borderline green. Trail is mis- labeled. It has a few fun sections but nothing that would make it a black. There are black trails nearby if that’s what you’re looking for. The ridgeline trail at the top of the mountain is better if you are looking for something a bit more technical.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
