This is a super technical trail that has many difficult rocky sections. For more beginner level riders it would be better to start on loops 1-5, and eventually work up to loop 6 and 7. It is still a fun tech trail, and all sections are walkable.

Disclaimer

Ebikes are allowed, but a permit must be obtained. There are some restrictions on who can get one. Please see the link on the main page "Ebike Policy and Blank Permit Form" for more information.
