Still one of the best trails I’ve ever ridden super fast, good flow, and fun jumps no construction as of this week

All trails are open and in good repair. Couldn’t see a construction from any vantage point. Great riding as always.

Fantastic trail with a good mix of berms jumps and rock gardens mixed in. Definitely worth checking out if you like mini bike lark style trails
