      Rode eastbound; not sure if it is always in the current state, or if from recent monsoon season, but the short uphill start was heavily rutted, ended up just walking most of it. Once at the top, it is a pretty fun long downhill that is a great exercise in line choice through the rocks. Looks like it would be a less strenuous/technical ride up compared to other trails in the park (and definitely easier to ride up than Circ trail to the south).

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
