Nescafe is an old school trail. The top half is littered with rock rolls and other slow, technical features. The bottom half is a pedally, loamy, low-angle XC trail. Sometimes the bottom half can be tricky to find/follow, as the forest floor becomes indistinct with pine needles. Riders often choose to ride 'upper' Nescafe to 'lower' The Hammer for ease of pathfinding.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      I have to ask is this a bastardized version of espresso on Fromme. If so cudoos to the trail builder/namers for having such a great sense of humour. For the record I’ve not ridden this trail yet but hope to.

      Very difficult trail with challenging rocks, roots. Last half is blue fast loam. Very epic trail.

      Great trail top to bottom. Bottom flow is a great reward for surviving the top!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
