Smooth and flowing trail for 90%, with a few spots that are a bit bumpy and minor alternate lines. Trail is very exposed for most the ride and can hot and windy. As the trail has worn in more, the rocks and dips near the end will push some beginner riders skills. New section at top bypasses the dirt road and has a little bridge and a little rock field.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Bench cut trail, 30 to 40 inches wide, Quite a bit of mild off camber.

Extreme exposure above gravel pit, which can be bypassed on the road.

Directly after the drop in, there is significant exposure on 32 inch wide trail, which is definitely rideable without spotting by many riders.

After the Viking run cut off, there is a pinch point in the trees of 28” which has a drop off into some trees while the trail makes a hard off-camber turn. Only advanced riders will make this move without assistance.
