It is a long trip to the top, 2+hrs, but well worth the view and the ride down. Trail is an old quad trail that is mainly used for hiking. Parts of the climb are quite technical. Quads are no longer permitted but MTN bike are!

470m climb over 3km. Whats not to like! Try and post if you made it without stopping. Also, Dont cut the trails.

Please stay on trail don’t cut the switch backs.
Sadly hikers have not been using the proper trail and have now wrecked most of the switch backs with short cuts which will now create erosion and will not be sustainable with the amount of people that are using the trail.
I counted 48 people descending trail well climbing up and the majority were not using the main trail.

This climb is constant. The times a few years back (before ebikes) seem to be substantially longer. Do this trail if your in peak form and want to enter the pain zone. Coming down has a few areas of high consequence. But the majority is just a brake smoker. Its pretty steep!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
