      The only thing that makes this intersecting is that unlike similar green trails in this park, there’s a fair amount of small rocks, and loose over hard bits. That doesn’t make it a blue trail, but it just doesn’t have the flow most others in the park do, not quite enough techy sections for intermediate and advanced riders to “solve”.

      Rocky, rocky and loose rocky. Not too exciting.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
