This is a great trail for both hiking and mountain bike. The bottom near the reservoir gets a bit steep and is the last to dry out as it is in a deep green forested gully. If you are climbing up from the reservoir it is a stout climb up through switchbacks to the ridge. From the ridge the descent is awesome. It starts out with a lot of straight line speed, but quickly turns into whoops in succession before and after turns. You can boost them, drift them, or just go full enduro line roll.

For hiking this is a good climb up and over to the reservoir, with a great little bridge that you can hang your feet over and watch the trout jump.
