More green than blue. Fun but gravel bae trail and pretty tame. Could be ridden in both directions for sure. Nice to add, but not the main attraction.

The most challenging of the three parts of the 13(.5) trails. Pretty rutted in some of the turns but if you're good with your line choice you can really flow on this one.
Best way to ride these is by climbing all the way up to lollipop, hitting that, then riding straight down all the way through all the 13s without stopping.
