Trilha Sensacional. Visual belíssimo de montanha, muitos rockgardens técnicos, bancos de areia, um verdadeiro desafio conseguir "zerar" os rockgardens sem tirar o pé do pedal. Ela se conecta de um lado com o estradão da Vale pro lado da Escolinha, e do outro ao traçado da Borbolight que conecta ao Morro do Careca.

      uma das melhores trilhas da região, a porta de entrada para qualquer rolê na região! porém a classificação é exagerada demais, essa trilha não é tão difícil

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
