      The upper, northern portion is extremely rutted out from dirtbkie traffic. Lots of washout drops created by roots. Definitely should not be rated green. The lower portion after the Freinds cutoff is much different, but not a single track, much more of a woods road. They are really two very different trails.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
