This section of Dante's Trail is very rocky in most places and requires good technical skills to enjoy it. Bring your A game and a full squish bike if you have it It is a pretty brutal trail. If you are not a technical rider, it is recommended to start at the Wonderworld trailhead and avoid this section like the plague!
