      Fun trail. It is not a black.
      Below Centipede this is a green/easy trail save for the ele gain if going up so call it intermediate/blue.
      Black trail above Centipede. Centipede is right this trail turns left. Most ppl turn right on Centipede if climbing.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
