      Fun trail that has been well maintained. Some nice steep bits, a berm or two. i'd say it's more for than N. Trail (definitely more technical and closer to a black whereas N.Trail is full blue). There's a great little roll that gives you enough speed to pop up the next steep climb with little or no effort. I'll probably add this to my loops that have Say Ah in them.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
