This was the original Insurgent entrance. But The Canyons moved the start to coincide with the main start for Go Pro and Ricochet. This old entrance is rarely used, and is overgrown. Really not an expert trail, but once you go down it, Insurgent is your only option.

The trail is in great shape after last week's rain. Just a few muddy spots.

Fantastic condition considering how dry it is. Upper section has been trimmed so you can see the corners.

      This trail was “meh” to me. Pretty slow, skinny, somewhat techy, but not in an exciting way. It’s not a bad trail, just nothing to write home about

      Fun old school tight Singletrack. Too steep to climb.

      I went down Red Coat yesterday, 1 Sep 2016. It's in good shape and it's not overgrown as stated in the intro. When you get to Insurgent you see it gets much more use and the track is all over the place wide. Riders have created some alternate lines but there are no real ride-arounds, except at the bottom at a man-made/rock feature. Insurgent is steep, rocky, root infested and right now has deep moon dust to make it even more challenging. Insurgent is short and doesn't have many man-made features but it does have some gnarly natural features. The sign at the entrance states it's for expert riders only. It's right.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
