This is a challenging trail, full of tight corners and peppered with roots this will challenge even the best riders. Most take this as a down hill route but it can be either direction. This trail has been apart of the local Enduro race too, so get in some practice laps.

      mildly fun trail that is 50% xc and 50% downhill. kinda sketchy after the rain when the roots are slick
      jjaap
      Apparently roots have been removed today. This trail is a local favorite specifically because of the technical roots and rocks. Do not alter the trail simply because you can not clean each feature! Go back uphill and practice, then practice some more instead of changing a perfectly good technical xc trail.
