As a climb, Farewell has a stiff beginning of tight switchbacks. As you quickly gain elevation, the climbing grade decreases and even offers a few great views of nearby mountains.

Probably a black diamond as a climb, but fairly tame as a downhill. Some switchbacks with small rocky sections, and sections of trail that fall away to one side may contribute to its black diamond rating. Overall closer to a harder blue rather than a black. Awesome ride with incredible views, regardless.

Not a climbing trail. Run it from red to green.

Rox and I rode this downhill today as part of a loop climbing Northfork. What a hoot! Great sightlines in a lot of it so you can rip pretty good.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
