Not really sure why this is labeled as a black diamond, it is pretty easy to roll down. Going up would be a bit on the steep side and couple loose sections and turns, but not really that expert. It is a nice trail to roll down, the finish is fast, but on a loose double track. Access is a climb, and you have a short climb on the dirt road to get to Valley View
