rode Sept 2026. was mostly trimmed and maintained but it is mainly a tough hiking trail not a mtb trail. I lost the trail half way through. it's marked but not that easy to follow. trees have white square on them.

I should have read previous comment earlier. Totally overgrown and unmaintained. Miserable on an MTB maybe more for hiking.

Why is it on Trailforks? Trail is overgrown. Can’t see where you are going. In terrible condition. Waste of time. Go somewhere else.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
