Flowy little downhill section, easy to rep if you're really liking it. There are lots of little offshoots that branch off of this trail, and they all meet up at the same place. As long as you're going downhilll, you're good.

 pretty dry, not too loose yet though. Slightly overgrown, so wear long sleeves if you don't want to get scratched.

      I have been riding this for many years. It's always fun, flowy and largely smooth. It's a gas to run it in the direction on the map. At the bottom is a deep trough that's fun in both directions. Trough deepens to about 10 feet at the very bottom. Roller steep and shoots you back out. Deep cover, feels like you are in a tunnel. Watch for hikers and use a bell.

      First ride on a MTB and first time on this trail. Took the loop going right at the first split, half way there there is little spots with incline that are difficult if you are a beginner rider. Also some of those parts are real narrow.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
