      This trail is fairly technical if you start from the southwest end and go up north and then east. First half is easy with wide trails, but once you turn east it is a fairly tough grade until it turns back southeast. The grade is full of large boulders and was not passable on bike. Coming down may be doable but challenging.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
