This absolutely should be ridden from south to north. There are two distinct sections to this trail - the wrap around the side of a mtn which has a slight climb to mostly flat then the straight away locals have coined Permagrin. Permagrin segment is a series of fun washes skirting the side of the mountain that resemble a roller coaster.
The trail undulates up and down into gullies. It is not easy to get enough speed to boost any of the whoops, but you can send it into the trough at a couple spots. The trail can be ridden fairly slow, but to make it up each little hill and maintain your flow, you need to keep some speed.

What a trail! I rented a Stumpy and decided to tackle Mesa system, after having an amazing ride I wanted to finish my day on Permagrin. I rode it once and realized that my day was far from over.....I loved it so much that I ended up riding it 3 more times! One piece of advice I'd gave to a new rider on this trail would be to make sure you know how to pump down a slope. If you do, you'll be rewarded with one of the best flows of your life! Enjoy!

Killer flow!!! Keep up your speed and try to compress the downhills to boost up the hills and you will barely pedal the whole way down. Up TH and down PermGrim is a fun loop!

I am a beginner and I love this trail! I keep going off at this one section, but other than that it was so much fun. Since I ride pump tracks I was able to go fast, maybe a little too fast for only riding my 3rd time on a proper MTB trail.
