      The punchy climbs plus a short technical section before the hairpin make this a blue. The technical section is where there was a rock slide with lots of slick shale. I've watched many lose traction on it.

      I kind of hate “punchy” climbs (slow and steady wins the race 😂). That being said, these are fine. This is a great trail. On a cooler days i bet it’s hard to beat. In the summer heat this whole area is a bit brutal.

      Butterfield has rated this trail as blue on its signs, probably due to several short punchy climbs. The trail is not technical.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
