      Beware of hikers! Trail is very rocky but not to many loose rocks. It can be accessed from the North and south side of park. I recommend it

      Fun flower ride. Rocky. Best with full suspension. Watch out for hikers. Equip your ride with a bell. Don't want to loose privilege of riding this trail due to complaints. Great views.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
