Delightfully ungentrified rake & ride. Very worthwhile.
wgwestervelt
Kind of a fun ride down but it’s not a lot of fun to climb. Typical old school trail - rake and ride with not much in the way of bench cutting.
Galago
Some downed trees. Rideable but I'm going to get a chainsaw up there soon. Took out one with my handsaw but the others are too big.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
