Very dry still. This is listed as a 2 way trail. I rode up it for the first time ever and honestly don't think it is a safe direction to ride...

      One of the most fun trails at Hartland, mix of up, down and tech at the end of a nice downhill (WYD).

      Meh. Not the best for my hardtail, rode both ways and the lower section sucks to climb.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
