      Adaptive bike riders: This trail is totally doable. Wider bikes may have issues but you can probably get through if you are careful.

      We did this in the opposite direction - i.e. downhill. Thought it was very enjoyable that way.
      CaliGoldRush CaliGoldRush
      Throughly enjoyable downhill using all the elevation has to offer. Tight twisties and sweeping turns with some pedaling.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
