De los mejores Senderos de la zona. Rápido y alpino. Esta marcado como negro pero podría ser rojo perfectamente.

      Very nice trail. I was a bit scared at first because of the black rating but found it not too difficult as it’s not steep at all, just a bit techy at times but overall very flowy

      Very fast top part. The middle is a little more rocky with less flow. The bottom is very nice again, fast but technical. Amazing landscape and views of the Sierra Nevada.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
