Super hard uphill climb but once you can get past that the down hill is all worth the fight

Great trail if you like tech. Ride this from north to south for best effect. If you’re doing the famous Figure 8 route it’s actually preferable to take the fire road to signal knob and then this trail back down to the top of Bear Wallow than doing the horrible hike a bike on Bear Wallow. There is one short hike a bike section then it’s a long, extremely techy and fun descent.

This is more of a hiking trail than MTB trail. Their are fun sections on this trail but most if it is relentless pedaling over large rocks. If speed is your thing, this is probably not the trail for you (it wasn’t for me). If slow technical climbing and descent is your thing, you will love it.

The climb is a mix of rideable chunk and hike-a-bike, with a few large rock features you'll have to lift your bike over. The downhill is very fun and challenging, very chunky and mostly techy rock gardens, all rideable with moderate skill, but just barely.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
