Mr Bones is hand built technical single track that is generally mellow in grade with a few steep switch back turns and rollable drops that will challenge intermediate riders. I would rate this somewhere between blue and black.

      This trail rips. More of a spicy blue than a black.

      Fun trail but steep sections sketchy when wet. Cap needs more blues not blacks.

      Sick fun. Couple steep sections make me wish I had a dropper. But overall super fun and love it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
