Most of this is easy with constant views of the South Fork Inlet. Expect some chunky washed out sections and punchy climbs and the occasional steep descent.

Fun mellow rides with a few exciting technical segments. It does have some exposed areas so use extreme caution as other riders can be right around the corners.

Smooth and fast rolling. Chunky and exposed at the beginning of the trail so be careful with beginners. Rest of the trail is very flowey and mellow

As a newbie to mtb, I found this trail to be not so fun. The tight turns with bigger rocks/roots made the challenging pieces not do-avle for me, and the rest of the trail was rather drab. I am wanting/willing to work on some skills, but I will do it elsewhere; until then, the non-technical portions are just boring enough to make it boring...
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
