This is a blue/intermediate trail, also officially marked as such.
Grizzkid
This is not an advanced trail. Purely blue/intermediate. Rideable both directions or go up the road or Dogwood trail. Head west on the dirt road from the dam and ride up the first old logging skid trail to the left and climb "San Diego Trail" to Dogwood.
BZSPaul
It is very tight single track... but super fun. Granite rocks and lots of switchbacks. Climb out is not terrible.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
