Starts and ends beautifully, but the middle is extra chunky. Mostly flat, makes it difficult to negotiate. It is not long section, and you can ride it with a good amount of bike handling. But that rocky section pushes it into the realm of expert.

      Mud on the northwest section. Restating what many others have said - the middle section is extremely right and rocky, bracketed by easy riding on either side.

      I would say 30% of this trail is absolutely unridable, regardless of skill level. Still a fun little ride, just some hike-a-bike mixed in.

      Rated black diamond because you have to survive the hordes of ticks, flies and spiders that are waiting to ambush you. If hell was on earth, I’d call it Antelope Island!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
