      This was a little more challenging than we were expecting for an easy trail. Great for some beginner-intermediate riders, but definitely not for smaller kids. Beautiful area and nice trail, but we walked most of the way up.

      I'd say this is a green. Good fun. Great for beginners to work on minor roots and punchy climbs.

      Gonna be honest, this did not feel beginner. With such steep grades and no spot to really generate speed I found I couldn't even attempt most of the hills. Pump track built near the 3 bears trailhead was lots of fun to rip around though.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
