      Condition good for fatbike (4.8” tyres) in morning - started getting soft by midday

      Nice connector / scenic trail. Some fun sections but used it mostly to get in and out of areas. The climb isn't very technical and uses rollers and switchbacks nicely to make the climb more enjoyable

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
