A nice decent with some side features including an up and over rock roll and handlebar grabbing rock squeeze. Primarily downhill because of the steeper upper sections.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Not my favorite trail in the area. There’s too many loose rocks to make for a fun climb or descent, but not bad for days when you want to mix it up.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
