      Yeah the more smooth and wide open trails we get the more a trail like this needs to still exist. Is it my favorite in the network?? Uhh no. But it is a solid climb that I learned some skills from.

      I can see why there's a split of opinions on this trail. Would make for a fun climb, if you need to go up in this area. When descending, be prepared to brake in spots, and deal with some very tight corners. Some roots. Some riders will love it, and the beautiful scenery around it. Other more aggressive descenders might want to head down Misty Maple instead, if you going downhill in this zone.

      Off-cambre, rooty, tight turns all make for an arrhythmic ride cutting across (too much) width of the hill

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
