      This trail is extremely difficult to find and trail forks mapping is off. Go approx 30 yards past where it shows on trail forks and walk 30 yards off of double black diamond to find it. It will take you along the cliffs all the way down. This trail is EXTREMELY difficult. Be prepared to walk your bike.

      Rode this between beehive access and crown Creek loop. It is like forging your own trail but more like a blue/green. Not very defined.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
