This trail is a great DH trail and is a tough climb in the opposite direction. There is significant runoff that occurs on occasion that may freeze along the many areas where the trail is on bedrock and may cause ice. Palisades MTB fundraised, paid, and did the finish hand work on this trail over the course of 1 year.

      Wow! If you are into DH.This is like riding at a DH Park.Amazing rock work.Wide open trail! Reminds me of some top notch trails in Vermont!Probably an ok climb also.May be steep,but not a super techy climb unlike the rest of the original loop.This new(smaller) loop is amazing in both directions.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
