Evacuation Order is a black rated (most difficult), technical trail. Notable trail features include: roots, rock drops, wooden rolls and drops, gap jumps, steeps, and catcher berms.

Inspired by the evacuation orders prompted by the Black Mountain Fire, this downhill tech trail follows the fall line through burnt forest and then emerges through unscathed timber. Expect exciting features to come at you fast.

      Two big rock drops that are about 5-6 feet tall. you can go around the first one and roll the wood option on the second one but even those lines are still quite difficult. Definitely the hardest trail on the mountain.
      JathanRNoper
      Great advanced trail. Intermediate riders maybe stay clear as theres a couple big rock features that would be difficult to get around.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
