      Really great natural features. Good signage. Lots of tight turns. Highly recommend if you are looking for something more technical and less flowy.

      Enjoyable trail. Well designed and maintained. As noted avoid when wet as there are a lot of rocks.
      Jterwilliger
      Lots of cardio for a 65 yr old and rather steep downhills, very challenging and fun

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
