A nice trail, with cool views. Corners can be loose and slippy. The trail is built well and has excellent flow. This portion has some high speed spots where you can double or triple up the rollers- tons of fun.
This trail is not technical, and does not have any tough climbs. It is a perfect loop for families, beginner riders, and advanced riders who want a flowy trail with challengeable gaps.
