      3 mile rock garden (ok, only half of it is basically a rock garden) . That's a lot of rocks. Some of the rocks are fun, but a lot are just annoying. You might enjoy the trail IF you know what ur getting into.

      I recommend climbing Live Wire and descending High Voltage, especially if you've already done it the other way. The bottom 1/3 of Live Wire is a somewhat techy/rocky climb, but not too crazy or steep and ridable. The upper 2/3 is a straightforward gradual climb.

      Wild section of trail for this area! Basically a 3mi long downhill rock garden. It's a mental and physical overload to navigate all the rock mounds, small drops, rollers, creek crossings, etc but a ton of fun and I really enjoyed it!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
