This trail focuses on FLOW. There are a few switchbacks but for the most part they are bermed and wide enough to keep your speed. This is the primary route to use to get to the upper Pattee Creek trails higher up in the canyon.

Always a blast to come flying down the MoZ. Worth the climb up the road a couple of times and earn the reward of a wide open switchback with some long fast stretches.

They need to make this trail one way/downhill only, and close it off to hikers. Ran into hikers hiking the trail both up and down. Some of them just clueless of bikers. And so many bikers will climb this trail.
A parallel trail should be made because you’re chances of not passing someone on this trail are slim.

*clueless hikers
I didn't actually run into hikers and bikers, but encountered and passed by many of them. I understand that it's an easier trail to climb compared to the fire road, but overall Mo Z is primarily used for downhill, and isn't fun to ride down if there's people using it to climb.
Another trail needs to made just dedicated to climbing. And Mo Z should be only open to downhill mtn bikers. Idk, that's just my thoughts.
