Land OwnerTonto National Forest
Primarily a downhill trail with a fair amount of flow. Some small rock features up top. This trail is a solid double-blue, but Trailforks doesn't have that rating capability, so it is rated higher in difficulty on the map to help prevent lesser skilled riders from getting in over their head.

Inexperienced ebikers are why the brake bumps get so extreme. No way they’d have the lungs or the legs to make it up the baby switchbacks at Alpe. Those heavy bikes and husky inexperienced riders cause the damage.

This is my favorite trail so far at Hawes, there are some braking bumps at the top in the steeper sections that add to the difficulty. Overall, this trail feels like a difficult Blue, I don't think it is quite a black trail overall. If you are an intermediate to Advanced rider this is a must hit at Hawes.

Some steep techy chunk at the top. Loose and rutted. That and the exposure lends itself to the black rating. But most of the trail after is blue …is decently flow and it opens up
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
