Big rocks out of place. Lots of ebikes go up the trail and really loose dirt and boulder/rocks all over the place. Be aware if you do go down just keep it outside to avoid the washout.

in very good shape, almost no ruts, a bit loose in places but not badly so anywhere. riding great. there is an orange sign that makes the trailhead look closed but i asked the utility worker up there and he said there's no reason not to ride it.

A proper Black Diamond trail, plenty of jumps and tech features, some exposure and punchy climbs with some great flowy turns. A lot of the trails around here are over rated but this ones right on par, great trail.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
