The upper end is access via the Waipoli doubletrack to Skyline. It beings in low shrubs and grass slopes with lots of whoops and turns. The fun factor is high with plenty of opportunities to catch air.

The middle section of the trail transitions to a bit more technical riding with some loose cobble and small drops. The tree cover also changes and you'll find yourself riding through big bushy pine trees.

The lower reaches are the most technical with extended sections of rocks and boulders. The forest is perhaps the most beautiful with tall trees and small pockets of meadows. Unless you hit the trail early in the morning, you'll also find yourself riding through the mist.

A bit over grown in spots. Some thorns sticking out into the trail in a few areas so watch out. They can sang your clothes or skin.

      Fun, easy trails. Some lips let you catch some air. Short, but sweet. I’d recommend riding back up it for a second go. Also a note about the next trail- lower waipoli, if you ride down this trail, you should ride back up it and you should NOT continue to boundary zone, as I would not call it a maintained bike trail. Lots of steep parts, it’s more like an aggressive hiking trail.

      Pedally but pretty good fun. Nice berms and features. Roots and rocks.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
