Basically just goes straight down the face of from the end of the vista. It is tight between the scrub oak and can be loose and rooty. Most mountain bikers will take the Woodbriar trail to loop to the top. This is even a difficult hike trail.

      Just don’t- This should be labeled a mountain goat trail not a mountain bike trail. I hiked it down and kept thinking Thank God I don’t have my bike.

      This should not be labeled both directions.
      It is a challenging ride down.
      It is absolutely unrideable going up, even on an ebike.
      It would be a challenge to ride up on a dirtbike.
      Is there another way I can say this?
      Not bidirectional. DH only and only if you are confident.

      Avoid. Insanely steep, loose, and has a ton of invading roots and oak. While you might find a good line, inevitably some part of your body hits a tree branch and kills your flow.
