I think this is one of the hardest trails in KC. Lots of rocks, a boulder garden, lots of up and down.
ultrarunnergirl
Several sections here have rock gardens that earn the black rating. Unless you are advanced there are a few hike a bike pieces.

Definitely a black trail. Some sections open up and flow while half or more of the trail is technical rocky sections.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
