Combination of very technical riding, similar to Apple Turnover, and some fast flowing features towards the south, including a large elevated bridge.

Is this better North to South, or South to North?

Just a heads up- there’s a tree down but you can see it before you’d run into it. Also pretty brushy on the sides. Doesn’t seem to have gotten as much love as the other trails lately. It’s fun though. Cool rock work that still makes you pick your lines wisely.

Fun in a masochistic way. Fantastic shakedown run to check your bike for the season. Mainly downhill but exhausting to ride. Brilliant.

Esther is a fun trail, easy ride. Here’s Johnny not only makes you want to kill yourself, but threatens to do it themselves. I’ve got no idea what the commenters who said it’s a single diamond are on, but it’s gotta be some strong stuff. If you are going to ride this trail, I’d suggest bringing hiking boots since you are going to be doing a lot of walking.

This is an awesome trail if you enjoy rock gardens. The trail is difficult for our area but not unreasonable (not double black worthy). I agree with the others that Apple Turnover is harder although it’s much shorter and not as fun as Here’s Johnny.

This trail is really not that bad. I think Apple Turnover at slaughter pen is more technical than this trail. I think the rock garden at the end must have been tamed down because it’s basically a freeway at this point. The only real tech comes at the top of the trail where it meets Esther but it’s nothing crazier than other black tech trails around here.

Good trail. Techy in a number of spots. The rock garden at the end is pretty ridiculous; park there and see if your friends crash.

This trail is legitimately challenging both physically and technically. It’s an absolute blast to ride if you like to navigate extremely technical terrain.

Super fun trail but think it’s more of a single black level trail.

By far the toughest trail in Bentonville. Your balance, brake check and trials game better be up to par to ride this bad boy. ????????????????????????????????????????
