 Lots of wet thick layers of leaves on the trails created very slippery conditions when cornering.

 Washouts and a few downed trees and several large trees blocking the trail down by where the old dam was (where Flume and NFS meet).

      Steep terrain, tight switchbacks, lengthy downhills, little chunky, lots of speed. Everything you want in a trail. One of the most fun and rewarding trails at Moon Lake. The downside is the climb back up on the connecting trails (unless you cheat and shuttle back up, nearby road access with off street parking). A must ride for the intermediate or advanced. The more suspension the better.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
