      Really rutted and rocky until you get to go ride.

      The upper 2/3 of this trail is currently closed for improvements. I hopped on at trafalgar and it was not flagged as closed but probably should have been?

      Definitely not a black diamond trail. In fact, there’s nothing a beginner can’t ride. I enjoyed it a lot! It is flown, but some places you need some speed to make it flow. It’s really fun at high speeds

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
