      Very technical, not a downhill specific trail I would go to say. Very traversey

      insanely rocky in most parts and if you fall you are either falling onto a large pile of rocks or down the hill. i would not recommend this for not as experienced riders.

      Should be rated about a low blue. I’ve riden in highland, whistler, and Frederick and this could even be compared to their greens

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
