Very overgrown at spots, several ruts and mud slides. Not worth it in my opinion.

      Pretty good shape still. Let your buddy go first to clear the trail of spider webs.

      The 2 “sketchy spots” in previous comments are still present and still sketch. Short, loose, tight turns with not so friendly looking landing areas if you were to beef it.

      Not many technical or flowy features but some great berm sections primarily focused in the upper half of the trail.

      Trail is in really good shape with really only 2 sketchy spots. It does have 2 climbs going down that will require hike a bike to get up, there are steps to make it easier.

      Super fun old school skinny singletrack with a crazy steep climb/hike a bike thrown in.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
