Really bummed that they built a wooden feature over the top of the root drop section at the end of the trail. That was the most memorable part, and it got neutered.

Short and punchy like meth. I mean like how I’d imagine meth would be like.

Lots of trail work today, the exit is "fixed".
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
