      Ridden 8/1/2026: This trail is the second best singletrack downhill trail in the park, second to Backbone Trail (Wood Canyon Vista Trail). Although there is a good long descent, you have to climb to the top and then ride a smaller climb out, when doing it clockwise. So, it's not all downhill. At the time of my ride, the trail showed signs of trail crew intermittently working on it to clean up some of the encroaching brush and smooth out the rockier sections. Hopefully, this trail will end up as flowy as the other aforementioned trail.

      Honestly, this might be the most fun trail in the area. No single feature or section really stands out, and nothing challenging. But the overall rhythm is soooooo good that I’m grinning the whole way down.

      Avoid this trail on weekends. This trail's a magnet for amateurs in full armor bombing down the hill without yielding for climbers. They're almost always on long-travel ebikes, which they bought to help them clear the trail's one or two minor rock gardens.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
