The trail start on a double track, than continue on a single track all the way down. The track is loamy with some slippery rocks in between. The final part is really fast ending on a tight combination of switchbacks.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      This trail is fun and fast and rough. I would not call it loamy like the description. It has lots of continuous rock gardens. Fun trail but I would not call it loamy

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
