 To those who ride all of this trail, I dip my hat. For me, I have now seen the trail, walked the bike down it, and won’t be attempting to ride it.

 Not sure what it should be like, but this is a double black. Lot’s of washed out over hangs on steep gradients. Walked most of it.

      Fun trail. A couple of the corners are quite tight. Definitely nose pivot kinda corners.

      Be warned of the very sharp and rocky corner between large rocks. There are also some tricky rock gardens. Intermediate/advanced but if your intermediate take it easy it’s hard.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
