It’s short but fun. I would categorize it as a good trail for a beginner who is ready to consider him or herself an intermediate. It has good flow, fun rock features, and lots of little well-crafted climbs that keep it interesting. For an advanced rider looking for a quick after-work or rest day ride, it’s just right. Do the loop both ways to get about 8 miles and 600’ of climbing.

        This is a good trail Rode, no significant downhill.

        Rode both directions, both are fun and have their own challenges. Go clockwise for a less intense climb and slightly more flow coming down. Go counterclockwise for blue/black climbs and little to no flow on the down.

        Great morning ride, 7am and no other riders.

        Great intro trail to start getting into more technical and chunky rides. There are a few rocky sections but with low consequences, so once you're comfortably on this trail you can work your way up to Barrel Roll, Paradise, Zen and KLC. Fun both directions

        this is not a green trail. This is more difficult overall than secret sauce, even if it is shorter. If you ride this expecting it to be, you will be hiking your bike in parts. Climbs, some with pretty good rocky features. Great overlooking views.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
