      This is not a good trail for mountain biking for two reasons. First, motorcycles regularly ride this trail (although illegal) which has caused a ton of soil erosion - softening the soil, exposing large rocks and creating deep, narrow trails that are difficult to pedal because there is not enough lateral clearance. Second, the trail is not designed for mountain biking - several of the inclines can only be climbed by the most skilled and most fit riders under the best of conditions. I strongly advise avoiding this trail for mountain biking - there are better options.
