Part of the new singletrack installed by the TD Land Trust a couple of years back. This one climbs gradually with a nice, long traverse to the western saddle on Razorback Ridge. Really well designed and built, the trail is plenty wide and swoops nicely through the forest, with occasional views of Castle Peak, and, from the top, a vista to the south of the Sierra Crest and the Royal Gorge of the North American River.

      Great for going down hill. Lots of fun curves. Great views also.

      Nice trail. Better for climbing, as it's a bit flat going down it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
