The lower section of Ono is a hand built downhill mountain bike trail located on the south west side of mule mt. This trail features technical features such as rock gardens, rock slabs and a large step-down near the bottom. Overall this trail is more of a black diamond trail, but there are a few spicy moves that might be considered more at home on a double black diamond trail. As with all advanced trails, we ask that you scope out the more technical sections of trail before riding them.

The trail is open to foot traffic, so please be respectful of other trail users.

      Gnarly, multiple drops with loose rock/slate.

      Great trail, the top half is much steeper than the photos look. Excellent mix of awkward tech moves, some flow, and steep committing slabs. 🤘

      I agree with the trail description, this is a solid black with some spicy features. Nowhere near as commiting as a true double black or pro line would be.

      That said, this is a beautifully built trail and it's really fun. Definitely a must do if you're visiting. Great work trail crew.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
