      I am usually the type of rider to enjoy a multi-use trail but riding this from north to south was definitely a bit too much. Ended up with a lot of hike-a-bike. If you are a mere mortal like me, take the String Beans trail to the road instead.

      Would have to agree with the other reviews, this is an extremely rocky trail, to the point where it's essentially unridable. If you want to go into it with the expectation of hiking your bike and only riding in 50 ft sections at a time, then have at it. Might be beneficial for technical skill improvement with the various rock drops and mini-chutes, but not ideal for a full trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
