      Fun trail. If you're not up to hucking gaps on Powerline this is the most fun descent on Mt Constitution. Has some rocky bits, but is definitely not a black. Would rate as a solid blue.

      This trail rips! Fast and skiddy with just enough tech to keep you honest and on edge. Most corners have just enough support to really let you rail if you're on it. Not necessarily an easy trail to go fast on, definitely not built for bikes, but that's what makes it fun... in my opinion. Love/hate kinda thing though, not everyone shares my opinion. Oh, and watch for, and be nice to hikers.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
