      Also a very dark red, not as steep as cow safari, but still steep (constantly heavy on the brakes / arms) and more technical and tight than the upper trails. Ground is grippy though (coniferous forest) and all in all very fun to ride if you like it steep(-ish) & tech

      This is fun. It's a hiking trail with rocks and dirt. Not very steep. More like a red trail. Beware of hikers.
