TTFs on TrailRock Garden
This is a stiff climb with a some tight turns and sharp rocks. That said, most of it is just a nice stiff climb. You can grind up it pretty smoothly without getting out of the saddle except for some rocky spots.
The rocks in this area are very interesting. Sharp white sandstone with little rusty embedded pebbles. It makes for some very grippy rock, but will take off your skin like a cheese grader should you go down

Please change this trail to a black, the grade and tech are too steep for a blue
metalheadmilo17
IMO, I think this should be black. The insane amount of tech, the scenic no fall zone, and the grade. Why this is rated blue is weird.
metalheadmilo17
I would say this could be a black, but it’s only the beginning part. Then a little bit before tje no fall zone, it gets easier
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
