I rode this trail the day it opened and again in Spring 2016. It has become a bit dried out in the exposed section which has made it a bit loose with some golf ball size rocks. It is difficult to really get much flow going at the top, but is fun to ride and drop down to connect to the flow trail in the hollow.

      Definitely not black. Also not worth it.

      This trail shouldn't be black. It's a little rocky with some tight berms and a couple small rollers but that's about it. I prefer staying on wild rose loop for the speed.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
