Mostly downhill run between Methesula and Timberview trail. Starts as narrow single track, widens to rock gardens among Manzanita groves, hits a hike-a-bike wall, then continues through more rock gardens. Mostly smooth rolling rock, no large obstacles.
Mixed use, hikers may be present. I would call it blue/black but since it isn't an option I will err on the side of caution with black.

Fun descending and challenging ascending. Go for a no dab challenge climb!

The middle half is basically just rock gardens. Downhill is pretty fun but don't really recommend uphill as much.

Although rated blue, this is by far more difficult than any other blue in the park due to the rock gardens and rocky ruts that could send someone flying. I won't take my lower intermediate riding friends on this trail. I have even had a pucker moment or two on this trail over the years when I picked a bad line (130mm travel), and I consider myself a legit advanced rider. Larger suspension bikes makes line selection not as necessary. Point is: this isn't like the other blues in the park so plan accordingly.

Should be a downhill only trail. Very bumpy ride in several sections. I won't want to do this with a hardtail as my 130mm full suspension is pushed to it's limits. There's a steep, very challenging climb up a steep rock garden to test your skills and strength. Only the best can make it on their first try!
