      Don’t need suspension. Better on a gravel bike

      Nice ride with good views. The trail is almost completely featureless for the majority of it, at the very bottom once it meets up with the grinder there are some good banked turns that make it a "blue". I think this is a rideable option for beginners if you just walk the banked turns. If you're ripping it be aware that there is a lot of loose dirt, rocks and sticks at the bottom. Definitely worth a ride!

      Pretty views. Has some nice bermed turns at the bottom.
