Good biking/hiking trail, 2/3 steep sections. The trail type is fast tech. no real rock rolls, but the last steep section sometimes can feel like loam.

Ratings seem very inconsistent. Rode Neutron (blue) 2 days ago and Burnt Ridge (black) at Hammerfest yesterday. No questions at all, if comparing those two, Neutron should be black and Burnt Ridge should be blue.

Super fun trail! Too bad about the disgustingly steep fire road being the only access. Blue square rating is a bit off in my opinion. The final third of the trail is steep and technical enough to rate this trail black diamond as there’s no other way out/down.

amazing trail! the only bad part is the wat to get there. The climb to the head of the trail is annoying but doable. there are two access: one were trail forks said, and one up near the top of the road. Recommending the top trail near the top of the road. Really fun but some spots are steep so do not recommend riding in the rain or if you are a beginner rider 
Very fun though!
