      Really fun trail! Nothing on it is too challenging, but the way everything's strung together makes for a pretty exhilarating blue trail. There are some steep rolls with optional drops, a couple small technical climb features, some cool exposed bits, and a decent flow section at the end. It's a great introduction to downhill riding, and easy enough that you can chain it with some of the other blues on the mountain without worrying about your energy levels too much.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
