Not sure when or why this became a black trail. Rides blue and I’m a wimp.

Couldn't edit previous comment. Should have wrote I like to go up Python onto Anaconda then down Iron Brigade.
bpercival
I never had a chance to ride the old trail. The current trail is pretty smooth, not technical. There are some banked turns, some sharp corners. Sections downhill and some pedaling required either way. Personally I prefer climbing this trail up then to Python and down through Ironsides.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
