Mostly flowy/easy trail except for a couple intermediate to advanced sections - an off-camber chunky section and a choose-your-own adventure rock roll.
With a small amount of walking, a novice could have fun on this trail.

 Very overgrown, lots of poison ivy - I would not try riding again outside of winter. A tree or two down as well.
