      Nice flowy blue. Has been ridden lots in the past couple seasons and is now a great addition to the system

      Not recommended. Some of it is overgrown, barely warn trailbed. Steep fall-line segments into tight corners with no berm. Simple traverses. Won't ride again.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
