      This trail feels like a bit of a hidden gem. Highly recommend riding it heading east (opposite of what TF says). It's mostly downhill this way with some really fun sections. Very scenic and a couple cool/sketchy looking bridges over a creek. Black rating is warranted.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
