The first half is twisty cross country single track. Then there's a short punchy climb. The last bit is machine built and fast. The top few turns can get soggy in the wet, but the end is always in great condition. Links well with Lumberjack's. Keep an eye out for hikers.

      Rode today after not being on this trail for a good year or so. Whoever did all the drainage work needs a medal. There's been a lot of rain lately and I remember particularly the first 1/4 always being super muddy after rain. There wasn't a single puddle or any standing water on the entire trail! Just hero dirt the whole way. I was honestly blown away.
