This track consists of multiple, alternate left and right berms. It can be ridden on any mountain bike. Sometimes the bottom section becomes rutted and a little dangerous in that way but in general it is a fun and not too hard track suitable for all but beginners. The climb back up is as steep as most can ride. An alternative is under construction which goes left from near the bottom of the climb.

This trail is unsanctioned.
