This trail is named for the really cool little waterfall that you get to ride right across when you get about halfway through the trail. The first half of the trail is very scenic and unique, and mostly downhill or flat. But once you cross the Falls, be prepared to go uphill a fair amount. Some of the climbs are pretty steep and tall, and this is where the Black Diamond rating applies. You may find yourself walking some of the uphills, but the first half of the trail is totally worth it.

Business note: These elevations are drastically incorrect. The base of the falls is 417m and the switchback climb after rises to 457. Also, the trail does not end with a DH, it ends with a climb 
Awesome trail, was very dry, so walking the steep climb is normal, youll just spin out even with MaxxGrip and low pressures.

You're going to send it down (which is super fun and fast) and then get rewarded with a climb that makes you earn that fun with some interest. The figures for the trail are wrong by a lot, but will definitely be a re-ride when I come back!

100 percent agree with the previous post. Thought it was all downhill but there is quite a bit of climbing.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
