Challenging, technical singletrack that is fun and challenging in both directions. Don't think you can just roll down this trail back to the car as it feels uphill both directions. For the advanced rider comfortable with punchy, slow-speed technical moves

This trail is unsanctioned.

Dry and a bit loose (so pretty standard after no rain), and most sections have little rock lines to guide you over the chert parts.

      Had not ridden this one in a while and wow! so good if you like a good technical climb. Seems like there's a small technical bit every few hundred feet or so. Has to be one of my all time favorites climbs. Maybe could use some white dots spray painted here and there to help guide first timers.

      Definitely a technical climb, but enjoyable in that sadistic way climbs like this can be. Rode this up and Fossil/Bunny down. Seems like a good combo.

      This is a great intermediate to advanced trail. It is good both directions- in fact if you’re not up for descending one of the red trails- I would highly recommend going out and back on kibbles. Do a loop on top on outer loop etc then come back down kibbles. Bunny and fossil are what the horses use and not great esp up! Awesome barely used up too and kibbles had just enough tech to keep you on toes but it was all fixable- nice rounded rock for the ups.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
