There is one very difficult rocky spot and a few mild techy spots but nothing that make this a black diamond. I have had fit beginners ride most everything on this trail.

      Beginner/intermediate perspective. A little bit longer than Baldy (.2 or .3 miles) but an easier climb. Easier grade and a smoother rolling trail than Baldy. Punchy switchbacks at the beginning and a short portion in the middle but mellows out after that. Flowy and fast after the trail junction. My preferred way to climb towards Miller Gulch.
