Steep and technical with some flow at the bottom. On the harder side of single black for sure. This trail runs super loose and dry in the summer months. Best ridden in Spring and the Fall.

      I agree with the description. Definitely steep. Nothing too crazy but steep for sure! Harder than Hawaii and Overnight Sensation IMO. Combined with OS after the long climb up for a fun descent.

      I suggest to ride this trail early/late season or after the rain. Otherwise it's steep, fun and loose!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
