Pretty fast trail with good flow but plenty of rocks and ruts to keep you occupied. Mostly in the shade for cooler riding during the summer. Trail can get pretty beat up at times. Watch out for the moose.

        Love this one. Underrated descent. Fast, and chunky in spots, it flows great if you can manage rocks and ruts at speed. There's even 3 or 4 decent doubles you can clear at trail speed without pedaling for. If you don't like roughness, you might not like this.

        Don't climb this trail. Just descend it!
