      The beginning of this trail is quite steep with some really tight switchbacks. This part can become very loose in dry conditions. There are two short but very technical chunky sections at around a third of the trail, the first of which has a ride-around on the left side. There is some exposure at a few parts but nothing major. The rest of the trail is pretty flowy.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
