A fairly easy trail with a couple climbs. Usually the first one to open after rain.

      I’m confused why this trail is marked open when there are permanent closed signs across both entrances.

      I feel like this trail was once great. Rode it today 8-26-24, and it seemed like it was in rough shape. Desperately needs some attention from some builders! Downed trees that it’s clear others are just riding around. Loose rocks and rough roots everywhere.

      zanimal32 - You are correct the trail was designed to ride counter clockwise to get the most out of the downhill's available. So if you are starting at "Safety Town/Rec Center parking lot take the first right turn.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
