Fun trail. Meandering climb up to a ridgeline then you descend for a bit with a bunch of fun tight turns (almost like a corkscrew.) Ride clockwise.

      Clockwise definitely the best. Amazing view at the top, but you earn it. The way down is fast and flowy, but some erosion makes for some abrupt dips. Gotta pay attention. Lots of fun.

      Going clockwise, I couldn’t understand why this trail was rated as intermediate. You’ll find out on the way down. Plenty of tight turns, ups and downs, and a few side slippy spots. Felt extremely remote and I didn’t see a single other person on the trail on a Saturday. Could use more people riding to keep the trail packed down. Kudos to whoever made this trail & put it on Trailforks

      Rode with my three kids and wife. Mostly it's a fun flowy track, dry and dusty. Well recommend. Windy on the ridgeline. A great ride that's 95% suitable for young riders. They might need to walk a couple of sections. We rode clockwise and the bottom 20% of the downhill was great single track for 10-12 year old riders. My daughter did her first jump!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
