      Still there still steep and better to go down than up. Staying at 9350 area. Its a good option if you want to do west highline.

      I did this trail up and down on 4/6/20.
      It's a strenuous ride up and I got tired and walked the bike a lot.
      Going down is MUCH better and it's the only direction I will ride this trail again :-)
      This is not a trail for beginners to ride down. It's steep with slippery pine needles.
      Going down, it may take a minute or two to get comfortable with the steep angle, but then it's a fun ride down.

      Pretty Brutal hike a bike up. But it's only a mile.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
