A bit of tech keeps it interesting. Good trail.
singingcierra
Such a fun little trail. It has some great flow and lots of fun little punchy climbs and downs. Good dirt and terrain, this trail makes you utilize your bike handling skills, but not so much that you feel worn out.

Great fun flowy trail. Good for beginner to intermediate. Family friendly. Small tech here and there. Connect it with all the others for an awesome ride.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
