This is a great intermediate climb and descent. It's a relatively gentle grade up til' it crosses the road at the paved "S" turns, after this point it's a grunt. Those with lower fitness should turn around here.

But it's also good to know this trail is very easy to shuttle, either the whole thing or the top to the "S" turns.
