      Amazing interval-intensive (up-down) and nicely grated gravel road. We road the high line and took this back. Sadly, we made the mistake of turning onto the red rock trail of BS back up to High Line. Would much prefer to either take control all the way back to highway.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
