TTFs on TrailBerm, Drop
Rocks, Roots, Jumps, and Drops pepper this fast paced, challenging technical black diamond trail. With mandatory features throughout, this trail will test your speed, flow, and technical prowess. This techy test snakes along the hillside below Spencer’s loop and uniquely blends old school tech with new school flow. Dig Deep was named in recognition of the hundreds of volunteers that came out and poured countless hours into this 100% hand dug trail. Slashing through deep vegetation, excavating huge amounts of organics, and shaping the entire trail by hand, this trail represents the first hand dug mountain bike specific trail constructed in Anchorage in 10 years. Over 300 volunteers donated their time and strong backs to make this happen and the results are fantastic

Very fun trails props to the builders. Not a double black by any means (not very steep and everything is walkable). If it’s wet then maybe some features turn double black . Air down those tires dog .

FYI,
The upper, original line has been armored between the roots. We also armored take off and landing along with shaving the stump that made the landing sketchy. The user ride around that was causing significant erosion to the trail has been completely decommissioned. There is no ride around. The section is rollable. If you don't feel comfortable with this feature than riding the rest of Dig Deep is not recommended. STA Trail Manager

Holy crap, what a wicked challenge. Rode when the roots were still kinda wet and that is some Double Black Diamond pucker action. Loved it but once is enough!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
