      nice trail, winds around, ups/downs, etc. - hardly call this a black though.

      Perfect trail to start learning the techy side of mountain biking. Lots of features along the way (most are optional). Bike control, being dynamic while riding, it's not as steep as it looks, when to drop that dropper...
      Good stepping stone to the other "black diamond" areas at Brown's.

      A nice trail, but nothing too special. This is really a Green trail with bypasses for all but one obstacle. Going up it's a black obstacle, going down it's a blue.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
