Level Up, a recent addition to trail network in the Fall Creek area. It serves as an alternative to climbing the road on the way to the top of Little Larch Mountain and it is a good trail to practice skills building. It is a joyful beginner trail to ride in both directions.

      The trail is in great shape and always a pleasure. There is a large tree blown down on the lower section, near where you pop out into the clear cut.

      It's a low intensity climbing trail. Mostly exposed for about the last 1/3 or so. Not sure how it can be rated above a 3!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
