This trail can be ridden in its entirety as a loop but can also be used to connect several other routes. With both technical and flowing sections there is more difficulty in classifying this ride than there is in riding it. The trail is rocky with short and steep climbs and obstacles strategically placed right on the edge. Despite these many challenges even an intermediate rider shouldn't have to dismount. As a bonus: Every way you look the views are amazing
