This trail has some great steep climbing and flow on the downhill. Recommended to start on Duffy's Lane entrance. All features like the rock gardens have easy ride bypass. The trail itself is sandy mixed with clay, usually dries fast and is well maintained.

      Pretty flowy trail with a nice technical rock garden option in the middle.
