This is one of those “G5.5” trails as previously mentioned there is only a couple of steep rocky chutes but then it’s largely just a long and rooty downhill.

This trail is super fun and a good level of challenge. The trails leading to it (Black Diamond and Sun Ridge are not fun)

If you are ok with the black trails around, you'll be fine on this one too, there are only two steep chutes that were covered with loose gravel, I rather walked coz I didn't see the end of them.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
