      Despite its name, this is not a true Downhill (DH) trail. It’s actually a double black cross country trail. One of the most technical trails in all of Durham, this trail checks almost all of the boxes for TTFs. It’s just missing a G-out and a proper drop.

      Definitely not a double black/red. I would say it is more like a single black. It is a fun but short trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
