This natural surface singletrack trail traverses a creek crossing, gentle up and down grades, as well as rock armored lowlands with a few punchy climbs thrown in for good measure.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

A few steeper climbs, a ravine crossing over large flat blocks.
