      This is really more of a blue trail. All in all it's a decent trail if you want to go a different way to see something new, but not suggested as an efficient way to get "to the top." No real standout features or "flavor" to this one. Climb is also not that difficult, just more tedious than anything.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
