      Not sure what is called but I rode it ccw. Lots of cacti encroaching on the trail. The nasty ones. Eventually it gets a little interesting as you drop down into the valleys and head up but I would say the more interring way may be cw. There were quite a few fun rock roll features that made me wish I was heading the other way. This trial is narrow, has a little exposure, some decent but rollable drop-steps and requires the punchy technical climbing skills that cowboy is known for. It is a warranted black diamond trail because of the technical moves, trail width and the nasty mean stabby plants.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
