Primarily downhill singletrack trail. There is one short climb and another that you should have enough momentum to carry speed up it easily. There are also small natural berms in a turn or two and a nice rooty section. Short, but definitely a fun trail.

      TRAIL CLOSED I rode the first part of this trail today before losing the trail to a large clear cut logged area. Unfortunately I couldn’t figure out where the trail continues after the forested area and had to turn around.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
