      This is labelled as Gurley on the NTN printed maps, Split Tree ends where the trail splits where you can take the trail down to the skill park. It's a very chunky and technical descent, but it's not a double black diamond.

      This is NOT Gurley. This is the Split Tree technical descent. It is an expert level trail that (that is totally ridable).

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
