      There's quite a few steep climbs. Best ridden clockwise.

      Isn’t 2 mi. A few loops. Not worth it. Good for local neighborhood.

      Decent Ride, A little confusing with all of the keep out signs and branching paths, but trail forks helped us find out way. The first 2/3rds of this trail is a lot of fun, a tiny bit technical but even my 7 year old got through it with only 1 crash. However that last 3rd climb back to the top is STEEP.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
