This is a mostly buff and easy climb or descent on the north side from the downhill intersection. It is really cool the way it winds you through tight pine trees on smooth singletrack. It makes for a easy way to come up from the backside, and a little bit easier option that is faster to get to the downhill. The frontside climb to the downhill is still very steep, and there are a couple difficult and rocky turns. Mostly intermediate, but pretty steep and unrelenting of a climb.

The pine trees on the backside past the downhill get pretty narrow, so coming down with wide bars is tricky to go fast.

      Starts off steep and chunky, but soon mellow out to a enjoyable climb with great views. This trail winds through tiny pine trees, and is full of rock berms and rollers. A fun climb in ether direction, but much harder coming up from Portal Tr.

      In the direction shown this makes for a nice warm-up lap before hitting the main DH run.

      In the opposite direction you'll have a very steep and slightly chunky climb. I would not recommend the trail in this direction. Floyd Hill West is an easier climb despite trail markers indicating otherwise.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
