Roots are slick after the rain. Deep sand made some of the climbs tricky.

Total beach. Fat bike maybe, but mostly deep sand is brutal on the climbs and sketchy on the downhills.

      Fisher and flying squirrel heavily chewed up from the dirt bikes, from where stonewall and Dunbar intersect, all the way through into Luna. Very hard to pedal through the over 1foot deep ruts on the steep up hill portions! Even if you didn’t want to walk any of it, you likely won’t have much of a choice. Some barricades would be really helpful in this matter

      Very loose sand from motorcycle traffic.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
