      I was blown away that this is rated a green. Came out with a friend who wanted an easy ride and we ended up on a section with welded tuff rocks littering the entire uphill climb. I couldn’t imagine being able to clear this and I love getting to the point of clearing techie sections of trail on blues and blacks. Wouldn’t expect this on a green. I liked the blues on this trail system better and considered them easier than the greens as strange as that seems! And the blues are more fun. I would avoid this trail in the future, personally.

      Definitely not a green trail. I'm an expert rider and could not clear or enjoy this trail. Needs a re-rating to Black as I don't expect it to be repaired back to a green trail.

      Not a green trail! Washed out by the recent rain, basketball size boulders in trenches

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
