      Completely disagree with the comment about this trail being a blue. It’s for sure still a red. If you liked unners trail you’ll like this one too. Much steeper and not as rocky. Fun times.

      The trail has been completely redesigned since I was last here. Much less technical and a lot more flow. Still a great trail but I would now call this a blue + no longer a red. When this is combined with the runners trail above it's a classic mountain biking must do..

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
